Vitória demand millions as Sporting's explosive player nears exit | OneFootball

Alisson Santos’s permanent transfer to Napoli is expected to represent a significant financial boost not only for Sporting, but also for Vitória, the Brazilian club where the forward began his development. With the Italians prepared to trigger the purchase option set at around €16 million, the officials of the Bahia-based club are now waiting for the deal’s official developments.

Vitória retains 10% of the player’s economic rights, a percentage agreed when Sporting acquired the majority of the player’s registration in 2025. In addition to that share of the transfer, the Brazilian club is also expected to benefit from FIFA’s solidarity mechanism, intended to reward clubs that took part in the footballer’s development.

Despite the expectations surrounding the amount to be received, Vitória’s board insists it has still not had access to the documentation related to the operation. President Fábio Mota explained that the club still does not know the details of the deal, including the payment structure and any possible instalments of the fee agreed between Sporting and Napoli.

When the transfer is officially completed, the Brazilian club intends to review all the documents before moving forward with the collection of the amounts it believes it is entitled to. Adding together the percentage of the transfer and the sums linked to the solidarity mechanism, Vitória could receive an amount close to €2 million.

Alisson moved to União de Leiria, where he caught Sporting’s attention. At Alvalade, he gained visibility, especially through his performances in European competitions, before joining Napoli on loan. Convinced by the level he showed in Italy, the Neapolitan club has now decided to move forward with a permanent signing.
