Bombshell! Sporting signing has medical today | OneFootball

Rodrigo Zalazar is already in Lisbon to undergo the usual medical examinations and finalize his transfer to Sporting, in a deal that was fully agreed between the Lions and Braga over the last few hours, with updates possibly coming soon.

As had been reported in recent days by the national press, the 26-year-old Uruguayan international will sign a contract valid for five seasons with the Alvalade club, keeping him tied to the green and whites until June 2031.

Sporting are preparing to pay 30 million euros to the Minho side for the attacking midfielder, with no bonuses attached or additional clauses included in the agreement between the two clubs. It is therefore one of the biggest financial deals in the history of Portuguese football between domestic clubs.

Rui Borges sees Rodrigo Zalazar as a priority signing for next season, especially because of the Uruguayan’s ability to play in several attacking positions and the numbers he has posted this season for Braga.

The midfielder arrives at Sporting after enjoying the best individual season of his career, establishing himself as one of Braga’s main figures and attracting interest from several clubs, including Benfica, who had also been monitoring the player’s situation.
