Romano confirms Alisson will leave Sporting, but clause isn't £16.5m | OneFootball

Napoli are determined to move forward with the permanent signing of Alisson Santos, who is currently on loan from Sporting. The Italians intend to trigger the purchase clause at the end of the season, thus ensuring the winger remains in the squad.

According to information reported by Fabrizio Romano, the value of the purchase option is set at €15.5 million (and not €16.5 million). The same source also indicates that the process should move forward without major obstacles, with the player happy in Italy and the deal seen as virtually certain.

"Napoli’s plan since March has not changed: The intention is to trigger the €15.5 million purchase option clause to sign Alisson Santos. The permanent transfer is seen as guaranteed. Alisson is very happy and Sporting will receive the money in June", it can be read on the social network 'X'.

Alisson Santos joined the Neapolitan club in January 2026 on loan, at a time when he was looking for more playing time. To secure the loan until the end of the season, the Italians paid around €3.5 million.

Since moving to southern Italy, the Brazilian has already made eight appearances, scoring two goals. Although he is still adapting, the performances he has shown have been enough to convince the officials at the transalpine club.
