Luis Suárez brace against PSG costs Sporting money | OneFootball

Luis Suárez was the star of the Sporting - PSG match and, in addition to securing the victory for the green and whites with a brace, he also ended up (once again) filling Almería’s pockets, thanks to his transfer to Alvalade last summer, in a deal closed for a fixed €22.16 million, an amount that could increase by another €5.26 million depending on the fulfillment of sporting objectives.

The Andalusian club has already secured, as of December 18, 2025, the first tranche of the variables. This happened in the round of 16 of the Portuguese Cup, against Santa Clara, when the number 97 made his 20th start for the Lions—a milestone that triggered a payment of €750,000. The same amount could be repeated at 40, 60, and 80 starts, if the remaining objectives are not achieved through other means.

And where does the Champions League come into this scenario? It comes in precisely with the brace against PSG, in the 2-1 victory, which Luis Suárez himself described as “magical.” With those two goals, the Colombian striker reached—and surpassed—the mark of 25 direct goal contributions this season (22 goals and four assists), another contractual milestone that guarantees another €750,000 for Almería.

There are still other bonuses foreseen, such as winning the National Championship or qualifying for the next edition of the Champions League, a scenario that is practically automatic in the case of a third consecutive championship. In total, about 90% of the variables are seen as easily achievable, with only two more demanding targets remaining: reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League or the semi-finals of the Europa League or Conference League, each associated with a prize of around €500,000.

In summary, the Spanish club has already secured €1.5 million in bonuses, distributed over two installments, which raises Sporting’s total investment in Luis Suárez to €23.66 million at this stage of the sporting season.
