According to the report, Napoli will pay Sporting a loan fee of 3.5 million euros, and the purchase option is set at 16.5 million euros, which can be exercised at the end of the season.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Napoli has completed the signing of Alisson Santos from Sporting Lisbona on a loan deal worth 3 million euros, with a total investment of 20 million euros if an option to buy is exercised at the end of the season. The operation was defined on Friday, but Napoli took time to evaluate the situation of Kamaldeen Sulemana before proceeding with the signing of Alisson Santos. The player is expected to arrive soon, and an official announcement is imminent. Alisson Santos has reportedly spoken with coach Conte.
Alisson Santos is set to move from Sporting to Napoli on a loan until the end of the season. The agreement includes a 3.5 million euro loan fee and a 16.5 million euro purchase option, for a total potential value of 20 million euros. The purchase option is not mandatory; however, it is considered highly likely to be exercised due to the high loan fee and Napoli having reached their financial fair-play limit. According to Italian media, if the clause is activated, Alisson's contract will be extended for four more seasons, until 2030, or five, until 2031. The winger's salary could become 2.7 million euros per year.
Sporting's coach, Rui Borges, did not rule out the possibility of Alisson leaving the club, stating that a departure would proceed if it were necessary.
Negotiations are taking place between Napoli and Sporting for winger Alisson Santos. Gazzetta dello Sport reports that a deal under discussion between the Portuguese champions and the Italian champions could yield 20 million euros for Sporting. The deal may consist of a €3 million loan fee plus a €17 million clause. This clause could be an option to buy or an obligatory one, contingent on objectives, and the difference is still under negotiation. According to the publication, only documentation is pending before the player moves to Italy.
According to Sky Sport, Napoli is continuing negotiations with Sporting CP for Alisson Santos. Napoli is working on a loan deal for the player at 3 million euros with an option to buy for 15 million euros.
Giovanni Manna stated that Alisson Santos is a player that Napoli likes, and he acknowledged that this information has already been made public. Manna described Alisson Santos as a player with quality and flair and said that they will see what happens in the coming days.
According to reports from Italy that have been confirmed by AS, Napoli has shown interest in Alisson Santos' situation. The club is in contact with Sporting to determine if his signing can be expedited at the end of the transfer window. If that is not possible, the move could be delayed until next summer. The transfer could be a permanent deal or a loan until the end of the season.
A BOLA reported that Napoli's interest in Alisson Santos is real and negotiations regarding the transfer of the winger to the Italian champions are ongoing. The transfer could be finalized in the coming days. After Sporting rejected an initial loan proposal from Napoli last week, the club is now open to negotiating a loan deal with a high purchase option that could exceed €20 million. This high figure will require intensive negotiations. Alisson is currently willing to join a new project because his opportunities in the squad have diminished following the signings of Luís Guilherme and Faye.
Alisson Santos is one of the targets for the Italian champion Napoli in this transfer window, according to Gianluca di Marzio. A BOLA reports that Napoli approached Sporting to try to secure a loan for Alisson Santos, but this was refused by Sporting, which for now wants to keep the player.
According to Sky, Napoli has made an initial inquiry for Alisson Santos, a Brazilian winger born in 2002 who plays for Sporting CP. The transfer is being considered as a loan. The Portuguese club has a high valuation for Alisson Santos, which complicates the negotiation. Napoli's attempt is concrete and contacts are ongoing.
Napoli is observing Sporting Lisbon's 23-year-old Brazilian winger Alisson Santos as part of the club's monitoring of the Portuguese market. Santos, who has been one of the profiles watched by the club in recent weeks, scored two goals in the Champions League, including one against Olympique Marseille. Sporting acquired the player for 2 million euros in July 2025 following a successful loan spell at Uniao Leira from Vitoria. It is expected that his development will be tracked for several more months to observe his evolution. His contract with the Portuguese club is valid until 2030, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €2.50m. In the 2025/2026 Liga Portugal season, Santos has made 8 appearances and provided 1 assist.
