Sporting reveal full Altimira fee to the CMVM | OneFootball

Sergi Altimira was officially presented as a Sporting signing last Tuesday. The 24-year-old Spanish midfielder signed a contract valid until June 2031 and was protected by a release clause set at €80 million.

In a statement sent to the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM), Sporting announced that it had acquired the player’s full sporting and economic rights from Betis for €18.25 million. A further €2 million may be added to the fixed amount if individual and collective objectives are met. Sporting’s SAD also revealed that the costs related to brokering the transfer amounted to €1.76 million.

In his first remarks as a green-and-white player, Altimira showed his enthusiasm for the new challenge and explained why he chose Alvalade. "I’m very happy and very eager to get started. The step I had to take was to come to Sporting. There was a lot of interest, they showed great faith in me, and any player has to go where he is most wanted," he told the Club’s official media.

The Spain international also revealed that Rui Silva, his former teammate at Betis, gave him excellent references about Sporting and named Sergio Busquets as one of his main inspirations. He also admitted his excitement about playing in the Champions League and said his main goal is to win titles with the lion on his chest.

Sergi Altimira becomes Sporting’s fifth signing for the 2026/27 season, following the arrivals of Rodrigo Zalazar, Issa Doumbia, Silas Andersen and Pedro Lima. The midfielder now begins pre-season training under Rui Borges, after leaving Betis, the club for which he made 109 appearances and scored five goals.
