Varandas struggles to sign Portuguese international for Sporting | OneFootball

Exclusive Leonino - Varandas saw the transfer window close recently, but still has a lot of work regarding some Sporting players

Pedro Gonçalves is giving Frederico Varandas some work concerning his renewal with Sporting. Our newspaper reveals, in this Exclusive Leonino, that the talks to extend the contract are quite advanced, but the two parties have not yet reached an agreement.

For now, the player has a contract with the green and white emblem until 2027, but the green and white officials are seeking this new understanding which, according to our newspaper, will place the forward among the highest-paid in the squad. However, both the athlete's representatives and the SAD have not yet agreed on the values of the new salary.

Even so, the management, led by Frederico Varandas, is confident that the process for extending the contract will reach a successful conclusion soon. Pedro Gonçalves feels happy at Alvalade and currently has no intention of leaving.

Despite the serious injury last season, the Portuguese international was coveted by Aston Villa and Bayer Leverkusen. The Germans even formalized a proposal to Sporting's SAD, putting 30 million euros on the table, values considered well below the player's real worth.

At the start of this season, Pedro Gonçalves has already played five games under Rui Borges: four for Liga Portugal Betclic and another for the Super Cup. In a total of 425 minutes of participation, the 'number 8' of the lions has already scored three goals and provided two assists.
