Pote’s recurring injuries at Sporting spark transfer rumours | OneFootball

The successive absences of Pote are having an impact on the planning for next season. According to information obtained by our newspaper, in an Exclusive for Leonino, Pedro Gonçalves’ recent medical history has cooled the interest of several foreign clubs. Sporting is seeing the ‘big sharks’ back off from making million-euro offers for the creative midfielder.

Despite this scenario of reduced negotiations, the administration led by Frederico Varandas is handling the situation calmly. The management considers the ‘number 8’ a fundamental and irreplaceable asset in the team’s offensive play. The player’s continued presence at Alvalade is viewed positively, ensuring sporting stability for the green and white project.

Pote’s physical ordeal has been a constant, depriving him of competitive consistency. However, his recovery is progressing as expected and his return to the pitch is imminent. Sporting’s medical department is working to ensure the forward is fit for the decisive Champions League clash against the powerful PSG, scheduled for January 20.

Several European giants have been monitoring the star’s situation. Teams such as Bayer Leverkusen, Aston Villa, and Manchester United even included the Portuguese international on their lists of potential signings. However, doubts about his current physical condition have led these suitors to put any moves on hold.

This season, playing for Sporting, Pedro Gonçalves – valued at 30 million euros – has made 19 appearances. In the 1,484 minutes played, the footballer, who is protected by an 80-million-euro release clause until 2030, has already scored 10 goals and assisted his teammates on six occasions.
