Sporting know fee needed to sign Sergi Altimira | OneFootball

Sergi Altimira is one of Sporting’s priority targets for next season, and the Lions already know Real Betis’ demands: the Spaniards are asking for a fee in the region of €25 million, plus bonuses, for the 24-year-old midfielder.

with Sporting trying to lower the asking price and the Spaniards looking to keep the value unchanged. Even so, there is room for an agreement, especially since Betis need to make sales by June 30 to comply with the financial rules of the Spanish league.

Altimira, who came through at Barcelona, has been losing ground in recent matches, largely by Manuel Pellegrini’s choice, as he has favored more experienced players, but also to shield the player from the noise surrounding Sporting’s interest. At Alvalade, he is seen as a key piece in the midfield rebuild, given the possible departures of Morten Hjulmand and Hidemasa Morita.

The Lions’ sporting project, built on challenging for titles and regular appearances in the Champions League, appeals to the player, with the good relationship between the two clubs also working in favor of the negotiations, strengthened by Rui Silva’s transfer last season.

In addition to his immediate quality, Altimira’s age (24) is seen as a strategic factor, allowing the club to combine sporting performance with future resale potential. At the same time, Sporting also have Issa Doumbia of Venezia on their list, and are willing to invest up to €15 million in him.
