It's close! €32m Bundesliga bid has Sporting awaiting windfall | OneFootball

Afonso Moreira may be on the verge of bringing Sporting a significant financial windfall. The Portuguese winger, who left Alvalade less than a year ago to join Lyon, is all but set for Bayer Leverkusen, and a move to the Bundesliga could be worth around €6 million to the Lions’ coffers.

According to French newspaper L'Équipe, the German club has submitted a €32 million bid to sign the young Portuguese international. The offer comes at a time when Lyon urgently need to complete a major sale by 30 June in order to meet the financial requirements imposed by the French football authorities.

Meanwhile, the Portuguese winger is already in Germany and will undergo his medical this Wednesday, 17 June, before being officially announced as Bayer Leverkusen’s latest signing, with the German club managing to secure the player even after he had renewed with the French side.

The deal would represent a huge increase in Afonso Moreira’s value. Signed from Sporting for just €2 million last summer, the 21-year-old winger became one of Ligue 1’s breakout stars and saw his market value soar over the course of the season.

However, Lyon will not keep the full amount. When the player was sold, Sporting secured 20% of the capital gain from any future transfer. Therefore, if the deal with Bayer Leverkusen is completed for the figures currently being discussed, Sporting could receive around €6 million.
