Pote set for exit? Sporting to receive bid with Jorge Mendes' help | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves is getting closer and closer to bringing his spell at Sporting to an end. After several months of speculation surrounding the Portuguese international’s future, all signs indicate that a Saudi Arabian club is preparing an offer to secure the signing of the ‘number 8’.

According to newspaper A Bola, the offer should arrive at Alvalade soon and will be in the region of €20 to €25 million, figures that match the current demands of Sporting’s board. The process is being handled by Jorge Mendes, who is looking to complete the transfer in the coming weeks.

In addition to the fee intended for Sporting, Pedro Gonçalves will have a contract on the table worth far more than what he currently earns at Alvalade. Although he has always prioritized the possibility of returning to one of Europe’s top leagues, the lack of concrete offers could lead the Portuguese international to accept the challenge of Saudi football.

The potential departure comes at a time when all parties acknowledge that the player’s cycle at Alvalade is nearing its end. After six seasons in the service of the Lions, Pedro Gonçalves is preparing to close a spell marked by three league titles, one Portuguese Cup, two Super Cups and two League Cups.

Throughout his time at Sporting, Pote made 239 official appearances, scored 97 goals and provided 58 assists, becoming one of the standout figures of the Ruben Amorim era. At 28, the Portuguese international could now sign the most lucrative contract of his career and say goodbye to the club where he established himself as one of the best players in Portuguese football.
