Sporting have update on star's new deal after 13 games this season | OneFootball

Sporting took care, in good time, of renewing the contracts of several key first-team figures throughout the season, with only two cases now left to resolve among players tied down until 2027: Daniel Bragança and Nuno Santos. While the winger’s situation remains on hold, the midfielder’s file is moving forward.

With the announcement of Francisco Trincão’s contract extension until 2030 on the 4th, the main wave of renewals was completed. Before that, Pedro Gonçalves, Gonçalo Inácio, Diomande and Geny Catamo had also extended their deals until the same year. Outside the main core, the club also secured the continuity of youngsters frequently called up by Rui Borges, such as Diego Callai, Salvador Bolpa, Felicíssimo and Flávio Gonçalves. Attention has now therefore turned to Daniel Bragança.

The 26-year-old midfielder returned to competition with the first team in the 3-0 win over Casa Pia on 16 January, in the 18th league matchday, in which he scored the third goal. That return came 335 days after a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, an injury that required surgery. Bragança is seen as an important piece for what remains of the season and for the future, which is why he is expected to receive a renewal offer by the summer.

The new contract is expected to include a three-year extension, that is, until 2030, as well as a salary increase, reflecting the player’s new status at the green-and-whites within the hierarchy of Rui Borges’ squad.

In the 2025/26 season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Daniel Bragança – valued at €10 million – made one appearance for the B team and 12 appearances for the first team.
