Sporting receive €40m bids for Luis Suárez | OneFootball

Sporting have already begun to face growing interest in Luis Suárez, but they are holding firm and do not intend to make the Colombian striker’s departure easy. Although enquiries are reaching the player and clubs from Saudi Arabia are positioning themselves, the message in Alvalade is clear: figures in the region of €30 million to €40 million are not enough to convince the Lions’ hierarchy to sell.

The Colombian international’s current form helps explain this market attention. The forward scored again for the Colombia national team in the win over Costa Rica, in a warm-up match for the 2026 World Cup, further strengthening his place in the squad.

In Alvalade, the striker’s impact last season was decisive in cementing his status. In his debut campaign, the number 97 recorded 38 goals and seven assists in 53 matches, figures that turned him into one of the main attacking references in Sporting’s squad.

Given this level of performance, Sporting see the player as an essential piece for next season. The board, led by Frederico Varandas, do not want to lose attacking strength and are aware that the market could intensify the pressure after the World Cup.
