Amid exit rumours at Sporting, Pote spotted at... Benfica's stadium | OneFootball

Pote used the holiday period to enjoy a different kind of night out and ended up appearing in a rather unusual place for one of Sporting’s main symbols. The Lions midfielder was at the Estádio da Luz with his wife to attend the Bad Bunny concert, an event that brought more than 60,000 people to Benfica’s stadium and turned the pitch into a huge Latin party.

The Portugal international joined the thousands of fans of the Puerto Rican artist and did not go unnoticed among those present, especially because of the symbolism of seeing one of Sporting’s most high-profile figures inside the home of their eternal rival. On social media, images and videos of the Lions’ number 8 enjoying the show quickly began to circulate.

After a particularly demanding season at Alvalade, marked by physical problems and an emotionally complicated end to the campaign, Pote has been using these days off to recharge before the start of the new season. The midfielder ended the season facing criticism from the fans, a factor that could be decisive in a possible departure.

Pote’s name also continues to be linked with the transfer market. The Portugal international has been mentioned in connection with several foreign clubs, especially Al Nassr, although he remains tied to Sporting by a contract valid until 2030. For now, the midfielder seems focused only on resting before returning to work in Alcochete.

In the season that has just ended, playing for Sporting, Pedro Gonçalves - valued at €30 million - made 41 appearances. In 2,907 minutes played, the footballer, who is protected by an €80 million release clause until 2030, scored 15 goals and provided nine assists for his teammates.
