Marcus Edwards was placed on the transfer list during the past transfer window. The most concrete offer Sporting CP received was from Al Nassr, although the offer did not appeal to Edwards, who expressed a desire to return to England. Initially, Edwards was bought from V. Guimarães for €7.75 million for half of his rights, with Sporting CP later acquiring an additional 15% from Tottenham. With only a year remaining on his contract, the upcoming winter or summer transfer windows present the last opportunities for Sporting CP to make a financial gain from his transfer. Although renewing his contract seems unlikely, there is a possibility he might find a new role under the new coach, Rui Borges.

Marcus Edwards, aged 26, finds himself at a pivotal point in his career with Sporting CP. His current contract with the club is set to expire in June 2026. The club's decision on whether to offer him a contract renewal or place him on the transfer list will depend on his performance next summer. During the previous summer, Al Nassr expressed interest in acquiring him, but the transfer did not come to fruition for multiple reasons, including Edwards' aspiration to return to the Premier League.

Al Nassr showed interest in Marcus Edwards and was willing to quintuple his salary. However, they did not make a formal offer due to the €25 million fee required by Sporting and the player's lack of interest in moving to Saudi Arabia.

Al-Nassr has shown interest in Marcus Edwards, but the player is not considering this option as he prefers to return to play in England.
