Varandas loosens the purse strings, Sporting wage hikes get people talking | OneFootball

Sporting has three contract renewals in hand: Francisco Trincão, Gonçalo Inácio, and Ousmane Diomande – with the latter currently being the most complicated case. The Lions intend to have these matters settled by the end of the current calendar year.

As for the center-back, the main goal of the green and white management is to secure the defender until 2030 – mainly to protect Sporting from the pressure of the transfer market, since Inácio has several suitors, such as Barcelona.

Sporting also intends to increase the release clause of the ‘number 25’ – from €60M to €80M – while keeping the Portuguese international’s net salary between €1 and €1.2 million per year, whereas he currently earns €1.7M gross.

Then, there’s Trincão’s situation. The winger is seen as one of the pillars of the team, and his process is, at this moment, the most advanced of the three mentioned. Like Inácio, Sporting’s ‘number 17’ Sporting has a proposal on the table to renew until 2030, with a similar adjustment to his clause.

Since he is already one of the highest-paid players in the squad – and also in the Liga Portugal Betclic – Trincão will go from €2 million net per season to a salary between €2 and €3 million net, in a contract that will also include bonus payments.
