Gustavo Sá wanted by FC Porto but… Benfica and Sporting too | OneFootball

Gustavo Sá has been one of the most prominent names in the league, and it comes as no surprise that the midfielder is already on the radar of several clubs, both domestic and foreign. According to O JOGO this Tuesday, the 21-year-old player is being tracked by Portugal’s three usual title contenders, with FC Porto, Benfica and Sporting all trying to put themselves in a favorable position to secure this important asset of Portuguese football, whose market value has risen significantly in recent times.

Famalicão has a strong tradition of developing and adding value to its players before taking them to higher levels, and the excellent season being enjoyed by Hugo Oliveira’s side has not gone unnoticed. Several players have stood out in the Minho club, but Gustavo Sá is the one who has attracted the most interest. FC Porto appreciates the midfielder’s qualities, José Mourinho would also like to see the red squad strengthened with a young player of great potential and with characteristics the team currently lacks, and Rui Borges has likewise given the green light for Sporting’s SAD to move forward.

The stumbling block, therefore, may lie in the demands of Miguel Ribeiro, president of the Minho club’s SAD, who in January saw the departure of his main jewel to Al Ittihad fall through. Sérgio Conceição wanted to take Gustavo Sá to Saudi Arabia, but the player chose to stay at Famalicão and continue establishing himself as a relevant name in the Portuguese league, rejecting a financially attractive proposal that held little sporting appeal. The situation may be different in the summer, when the big clubs make their move, alongside other clubs from Europe’s top leagues that have already sounded out the midfielder. Famalicão is asking for at least 25 million euros, half of his release clause.
