Alvalade favourite to renew with Sporting; Deal until 2029 or 2030 | OneFootball

Sporting is preparing to move forward with Eduardo Quaresma’s contract renewal, in an operation that should be completed by the end of the season. The 24-year-old centre-back is one of the next players on the Lions’ board’s list of priorities.

With cases such as Pedro Gonçalves, Gonçalo Inácio, Francisco Trincão and Ousmane Diomande already settled, the green-and-white officials are now beginning to work on contracts that run until 2028. The ‘number 72’ appears as the first case in this new phase, according to the newspaper ‘A Bola’.

The Portuguese under-21 international - who spoke about the most important goal he has scored - is currently one of the main academy products in the first-team squad. The centre-back also had loan spells at Tondela and Hoffenheim before establishing himself for good at Alvalade, where he has already made more than 100 appearances for the senior team.

His defensive versatility and growing importance in Rui Borges’ team have strengthened the player’s position within the squad. Besides playing in the heart of defence, he can also operate on the right flank. The new deal should extend his link with the Lions until 2029 or 2030.

Eduardo Quaresma - valued at 15 million euros - has accumulated 1,762 minutes in 28 matches for Sporting, with one goal scored and three assists to his name.
