After Geny Catamo, Fàbregas targets another Sporting regular | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves remains one of the most sought-after players in the Sporting squad, and the club’s board remains firm in its valuation of the Portugal international. Frederico Varandas is not willing to negotiate the ‘number 8’ for less than €30 million, even while acknowledging that this is a high fee in the current market.

The Lions’ stance has not put off interested parties. On the contrary, according to Record, in recent weeks several clubs have sought information about the conditions required to move forward with signing the player, who is about to begin his sixth season in Sporting colours.

Among the main interested clubs are teams from Saudi Arabia, a market that remains alert to opportunities in Europe and has the financial capacity to meet Sporting’s demands. Como, from Italy, are also monitoring the Portugal international’s situation and have already made exploratory contacts.

Despite the approaches, no formal proposal has yet arrived at Alvalade. The future of Pote remains open, at a time when the player has scored 97 goals for Sporting and is seen as one of the most valuable assets in Rui Borges’ squad.

If his departure is completed during this summer transfer window, the Lions already have their main target defined to make up for the absence of the player from Trás-os-Montes. Yeremay Hernández, Deportivo de La Coruña’s winger, remains the name most appreciated by the green-and-white hierarchy to strengthen the attacking sector.
