Sporting set for jackpot worth hundreds of millions, smashing records | OneFootball

Sporting are experiencing a historic summer in financial terms, with the proceeds from player sales nearing figures never before reached by the Club. The deals already completed, the transfers close to being made official, and the departures still on the table could allow the Lions to reach revenue close to €130 million.

Morten Hjulmand’s transfer to Atlético Madrid was the first major move to guarantee a significant amount for Alvalade’s coffers. The Danish midfielder brought Sporting a fixed €40 million, and could still generate a further €5 million depending on the achievement of targets.

Besides the captain, other negotiations have already had a direct impact on Sporting’s accounts in this transfer window. The permanent departure of Alisson Santos to Napoli represents income of €16.5 million, while Diogo Travassos moved to Braga for €5.5 million, increasing the amount collected by the SAD during this period.

Francisco Trincão is the next major deal to be added to the tally, with the move to Al Ahli representing revenue of around €45 million. Adding the deals already completed and that of the Portuguese winger, Sporting are approaching €107 million in sales, a figure that could grow even further if Pedro Gonçalves confirms his move to Saudi Arabia, in a deal valued at between €20 million and €25 million.

Despite the heavy investment made in building the squad, the transfer balance remains comfortably positive. The Lions have already spent around €79.25 million on reinforcements, notably Zalazar (€30 million), Doumbia (€20 million), Sergi Altimira (€18 million), Silas Andersen (€7.25 million) and Pedro Lima (€4 million), but they still maintain a very comfortable financial margin thanks to the sales made.
