A Bola reports that Pedro Gonçalves is available for transfer, as both Sporting and the player want him to depart. Sporting is waiting for a proposal from the Arab leagues, and several clubs there are monitoring the 27-year-old attacker. Al Ahli, whose sporting director is Rui Pedro Braz, has been frequently associated with the player, and other clubs in Saudi Arabia are also interested. The player is reportedly waiting for an offer because he wants a change in his career. Inquiries have been made, but no formal offers have been received yet. Sporting's goal is to receive a fee of approximately 30 million euros to begin negotiations. Gonçalves renewed his contract in October 2025 to last until 2030, and it includes an 80 million euro release clause. Sporting paid 13.5 million euros for 90% of his rights, and Famalicão kept 10% of any future transfer fee. In the previous season, he scored 15 goals and had nine assists in 41 appearances.

Pedro Gonçalves is considered a player who could leave Sporting during this transfer window, and Saudi Arabia has been previously reported as a possible destination for the 27-year-old. Al Ahli, where the sporting director is former Benfica director Rui Pedro Braz, is monitoring the attacking midfielder. The Saudi portal Ariyadhiah reports that Gonçalves is being considered as a potential replacement for Enzo Millot. An approach has not yet been made to Sporting. The club is reportedly open to hearing proposals for the Portuguese international, who has 4 caps for his country, and is indicating a price of around €30 million. Gonçalves joined Sporting in August 2020, and he scored 13 goals and provided 8 assists in 27 appearances during the 25/26 Liga Portugal season. His current contract runs until 2030. Transfermarkt estimates his market value at €25.00m. In addition to Al Ahli, Al Nassr has also been linked with the player. Reports from May/June 2026 suggested valuations for a move to Saudi Arabia were between €40-€50 million, while a reported €40 million offer from Aston Villa was rejected in mid-2024.
