On the final day of the transfer market, there is news coming out of Famalicão. Gustavo Sá, a player scouted by Sporting, is close to joining Al Ittihad, managed by Sérgio Conceição, who had already announced, after last Sunday’s draw against Al Najma, the arrival of last-minute reinforcements for his team.
Following information provided by Fabrizio Romano, the newspaper A Bola reveals that the deal is very close to being finalized for a fee between 25 and 30 million euros, an amount that would represent a significant boost to the coffers of the Minho club, with only a few final details left to be settled.
The team captain and Portugal U21 international has a contract valid until June 2029, renewed in the summer of 2024, and a release clause set at 50 million euros. Sporting’s interest in Gustavo Sá has cooled considerably in recent times. According to our newspaper, in an Exclusive Leonino, the amounts demanded by Famalicão are considered prohibitive by the green and white SAD.
In Saudi Arabia, Gustavo Sá will meet compatriots Danilo Pereira and Roger Fernandes, the latter a teammate in the U21s coached by Luís Freire and who also left Braga this season, in a transfer valued at 32 million euros.
This season, Gustavo Sá – valued at 16 million euros – played 21 matches wearing the Vila Nova de Famalicão shirt. In total, the youngster accumulated 1,809 minutes, scoring four goals and providing one assist, being an undisputed starter for the team.
