La Liga club rejects Sporting's €15m bid for Rui Borges target | OneFootball

Sporting remain attentive to the transfer market, and one of the names still highly rated in Alvalade is Sergi Altimira. However, the Lions already know that signing the Spanish midfielder will not be easy, since Real Betis are maintaining a firm stance in the negotiations.

According to ABC de Sevilla, the Andalusian club recently rejected a €15 million offer from the Lions, including add-ons, for the 23-year-old player. The bid did not satisfy those in charge at Betis, who continue to demand significantly higher figures.

The same source says that the Spaniards are only willing to discuss the departure of Sergi Altimira for a fee close to €25 million. This is a demand that could complicate matters for interested clubs, including Sporting.

One of the factors helping to explain Betis’ position is the structure of the player’s economic rights. According to ABC de Sevilla, the player himself and his representatives hold 15% of any future transfer, a circumstance that leads the Spanish club to try to maximize the financial return from a possible sale.

Sergi Altimira is seen in Alvalade as a very interesting solution for Sporting’s midfield, especially because of his competitive intensity, physical ability, and quality in build-up play, numbers that have increased the attention of several European clubs on the player.
