Update on Rodrigo Ribeiro’s transfer: Sporting set for a cash boost | OneFootball

Rodrigo Ribeiro is said to have already completed his medical exams to reinforce Augsburg, on loan from Sporting until the end of the current season, in a deal that also includes a purchase clause set at 6 million euros.

According to Florian Plettenberg, a journalist specializing in transfer market news, the German club is pushing to have the striker registered in time to be included in the squad for this Thursday’s match, January 15, against Union Berlin.

Furthermore, the newspaper Record reports that, regarding the objectives of the purchase clause, these are easy to achieve and relate to the number of games Rodrigo Ribeiro plays for Augsburg. Therefore, it is very likely that these targets will be met and that Sporting’s striker will end up being bought outright by the Germans.

It’s also worth noting that, in addition to this amount, Sporting will also have secured a percentage of any future sale of the player, thus protecting itself financially in the event of the striker increasing in value on the international market – in fact, last Wednesday he didn’t even train under Rui Borges’s orders.

This will be the striker’s third loan spell, after stints with Nottingham Forest and AVS SAD. At 20 years old, Rodrigo Ribeiro is now looking to make his mark in a highly competitive league, while Sporting maintains strategic control over an asset with a contract until 2028 and clear room for growth.
