Sporting brace for offers for Maxi Araújo, set asking price | OneFootball

Sporting have already defined a clear position regarding Maxi Araújo’s future and will only consider opening negotiations starting at €60 million. The Uruguayan winger has been attracting strong interest on the international market, and Sporting’s SAD is not willing to make it easy for one of the squad’s most influential players to leave.

With several clubs closely monitoring the Uruguayan international’s progress, the prospect of offers in the next transfer window is seen as practically inevitable. Even so, there is an awareness at Alvalade that the player is a key part of the team’s dynamic.

The club’s hierarchy already anticipates changes in the squad, namely the possible departure of Morten Hjulmand, and wants to avoid an exodus of key players. In that sense, keeping hold of the winger has emerged as a priority, reinforcing the idea of stability for next season.

The player, meanwhile, is protected by a contract valid until 2029, with a release clause set at €80 million. Even so, Sporting are not prepared to give up one of their most valuable assets at the moment easily.

This season for Sporting, Maxi Araújo — valued at €25 million — has made 41 appearances: 24 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 11 in the UEFA Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup. In the 3,271 minutes he has been on the pitch, the winger has scored six goals and provided four assists.
