Sporting CP considered signing Zan Vipotnik this summer, but ultimately looked at other options.
Žan Vipotnik is again being considered by Sporting. During the first half of the year, the Slovenia international was associated with both Sporting and Benfica, but initial approaches did not lead to serious negotiations, although he remained a player of interest for Sporting. According to Leonino, Sporting considers the Swansea player a primary alternative in the event they receive an offer for Suárez that they are unable to refuse. Leonino also states that a potential transfer is likely to cost more than €20m (£17.3m). It is reported that Sporting would be willing to pay more than €20m (£17.3m) for the striker, but only if Suárez leaves first, as they are not currently planning to make the investment without first selling him.

Sporting CP, Viktor Gyökeres's former club, is reportedly assessing future options for its attack and is among the clubs monitoring Swansea City striker Žan Vipotnik. Vipotnik has been compared to the Swedish forward. The Portuguese club faces significant competition, as multiple Premier League clubs are also closely watching the 24-year-old Slovenian. Brighton, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, Leeds, Brentford, and West Ham have reportedly conducted serious checks. Further interest comes from Championship clubs Coventry City and Ipswich Town. Last month, Vipotnik signed a new long-term contract with Swansea, a move that sources suggest was primarily aimed at protecting his transfer value. This season, Vipotnik has scored 20 goals and provided 2 assists in 39 Championship appearances. The Slovenian international has 24 caps and 5 goals for his country. His current Transfermarkt market value is €15.00m. Reports in April 2026 suggested a potential sale would require a fee between £15m and £20m.
