Key detail revealed in Rui Silva’s contract with Sporting | OneFootball

Rui Silva has one more season option, which is included in his contract with Sporting. Despite this being planned since the goalkeeper's arrival from Betis, it was not public knowledge until the last annual report and accounts of the green and white SAD.

The main keeper of the lions arrived in January, with the Alvalade Club paying 4.7 million euros for the player who, at the time, signed for a six-month loan. After that, Rui Silva - whose performances have been questioned - became a permanent Sporting athlete, until 2029. It is now known that his contract can be extended until 2029.

Although this was only recently revealed, it turns out to be a common practice when it comes to contracts of this kind and, in the annual report and accounts in question, Sporting was obliged to communicate the maximum possible extension of the players' contracts. Even though the option has not yet been activated, the lions can do so whenever and if they see fit.

This season, with the Sporting jersey, Rui Silva – valued at 7 million euros - has played eight matches. The Portuguese international missed three games due to physical unavailability, playing a total of 720 minutes, in which he conceded seven goals.

The green and white emblem will only return to the field on Saturday, October 18, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, counting for the third round of the Portugal Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at the Capital do Móvel Stadium, at 8:15 pm.
