Exclusive Leonino – Sporting may release midfielder this summer | OneFootball

Sporting is considering terminating Mateo Tanlongo's contract at the end of the season, Leonino has learned. Although the club would prefer to make a profit from the midfielder, the green and whites have not received any offers, making his departure increasingly likely.

The 22-year-old footballer joined the green and white squad in January 2023, but has yet to convince the Club's management at Alvalade. For this reason, Sporting's board is open to a possible contract termination, aiming to reach a mutual agreement with the Argentine.

It is worth remembering that, before considering this option, Frederico Varandas had set a minimum price for any team wanting to take Tanlongo from Alvalade: the Sporting President is asking between 500 thousand and 1 million euros from anyone wishing to secure the young Argentine, who is not part of Rui Borges' plans.

Despite his return, after three low-key loan spells (Copenhagen, Rio Ave, and Pafos), his integration into the B team has been a topic of discussion, especially since the player still has not secured the desired place in João Gião's squad.

In the current 2025/26 sports season, Mateo Tanlongo – valued at 800 thousand euros – has played in seven matches for the green and white's secondary team. In total, over the 272 minutes he was used, the midfielder has scored one goal.
