Sporting eye full-back double swoop for 2026/27 start, all you need | OneFootball

Eduardo Quaresma’s renewal until June 2031 comes ahead of a new plan of contract reviews at Sporting. Maxi Araújo and Iván Fresneda are emerging as the next priority cases for the Lions’ management during the 2026/27 season.

Last season, the green-and-whites focused on players whose contracts were due to expire in 2027. Pedro Gonçalves, Gonçalo Inácio, Francisco Trincão and Ousmane Diomande extended their deals until 2030, although only the Portuguese centre-back is guaranteed to remain in the squad for the new season.

Trincão has already left Alvalade to join Al Ahli, Diomande is close to Nottingham Forest and Pote is also on the verge of leaving. The cases of Daniel Bragança also remain unresolved, as he has not received an offer and could be transferred in this window, and Nuno Santos, whose future beyond June 2027 remains uncertain.

Once the transfer window is over, Sporting is expected to assess the contracts that expire in 2028. Fresneda, the starting right-sided player and the subject of international interest, will be one of the priorities for the green-and-white SAD once the new season gets under way.

Maxi Araújo, despite being tied to the Club until June 2029, is expected to renew early. The review will be seen as a reward for the Uruguayan international’s decision to stay for another season, despite the strong interest he has attracted on the market, and should include a salary increase.
