Domingos Soares Oliveira set to confirm Sporting star in coming days | OneFootball

The future of Pedro Gonçalves at Sporting is getting closer and closer to being decided, with the Portuguese international’s departure process entering its final stage. The winger has already said goodbye to the fans at the Cinco Violinos Trophy against Monaco.

The decision to limit the player’s involvement is linked to the ongoing negotiations. Rui Borges had already admitted that some caution was being taken to avoid a possible injury while the process is not finalized, at a time when Jorge Mendes is leading the talks to find a solution for the future of the number 8.

The matter could be settled during this week, with Al Ittihad, the club whose CEO is Domingos Soares Oliveira, leading the race. All that remains is to overcome the bureaucracy related to Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), the entity that owns 75% of the Saudi club’s capital and whose approval is required to complete the deal.

Sporting have also already set the terms to let go of one of their main figures of recent seasons. Although Pote has a release clause of €80 million, the club has set a figure close to €25 million to negotiate the transfer.

Pote’s departure therefore appears to be a process that is practically on track, after Rui Borges confirmed it even before the start of the league season, with the winger now getting ever closer to beginning a new adventure in Saudi Arabia.
