Rui Borges gives player up, but Sporting set to bank €20m | OneFootball

Sporting have already started planning for next season, and everything indicates that Alisson Santos will not be part of the squad. Napoli are determined to move forward with the winger’s permanent signing, showing full confidence in his performances since arriving in Italy.

The Sporting SAD already sees this scenario as virtually settled, with Rui Borges also preparing for the future without the 23-year-old player. The Italians are expected to trigger the purchase option set at €16.5 million, a figure which, added to the €3.5 million paid for the loan, will take the deal to €20 million.

Since joining the Italian champions in the winter transfer window, the winger has shown promising signs. In just a few months, he has already scored two goals in seven matches, earning his place in the team and convincing the club’s hierarchy to move ahead with a permanent deal.

Napoli’s move is no coincidence, since the initial investment in the loan already showed the intention of securing the player on a permanent basis. His consistent displays and attacking impact have reinforced that belief, making the decision practically irreversible even before the end of the season.
