Pedro Gonçalves Transfer from Sporting CP to Al Ittihad
An offer for Portuguese winger Pedro Gonçalves is expected to be made to Sporting soon. The bid is expected to be between €20 million and €25 million, an amount that matches the club's revised asking price and the player's current market value on Transfermarkt. Sporting's initial valuation was €30 million, but it was lowered due to a lack of market activity and the player's omission from the national team. The 28-year-old player joined the club in August 2020 and has 4 caps for Portugal. He renewed his contract last year until 2030, which includes an €80 million release clause. Despite this, both the club and the player concluded during the last season that a transfer would be the best outcome, provided the club received adequate financial compensation. The player's preference was a move to a Big-5 league, but with no approaches from top European clubs, he is now willing to move to the Middle East for a significant salary. Agent Jorge Mendes is handling the process, and the final destination remains undecided between Al Ahli and Al Ittihad. It is considered almost certain that Pedro Gonçalves will leave to secure a contract for three to four seasons. Previously, a reported €40 million offer from Aston Villa was rejected in mid-2024, and a €30 million bid from Bayer Leverkusen was rejected in the summer of 2023.
