Leonino exclusive: Sporting’s talented winger stalling on new contract | OneFootball

The process of renewing Mauro Couto's contract with Sporting has encountered some obstacles in recent weeks, Leonino has learned. The player has been a central figure in the negotiations, with several points still to be defined, which has delayed reaching a final understanding between the parties.

Despite the difficulties, as our newspaper has found out, the dialogue between the parties has never been interrupted. The Club maintains the intention to extend the contract (which is valid until 2027) with the athlete, who is internally seen as an important element for the medium-term sports project.

The negotiations have been ongoing for several months (as Leonino reported exclusively), with both parties showing confidence in a positive outcome. However, there is no finalized agreement, nor are the values completely defined.

Sporting remains calm about the process, believing that it will be possible to find a solution that meets the expectations of the club and the 20-year-old player. Until then, the Mauro Couto dossier remains on the table, with updates expected only when there is a definitive consensus.

Mauro Couto - valued at 450 thousand euros - has accumulated 1,028 minutes in 17 matches for Sporting's B team, with two goals scored and two assists to his personal account. The player has already won a National Championship and a Portuguese Cup with the Alvalade Club.
