Sporting Lisbon’s qualification for the knockout stages of the Champions League, leaving behind a European giant like Borussia Dortmund, has not only provided a boost of morale for the Lions, but also an economic boost. The almost € 10M that the Lisbon team will enter will allow them to retain one of the players that is offering the most and best performance this season, as reported AS weeks ago. This is the case of Pedro Porro, who arrived last season on loan from Manchester City. But beyond the fact that the current champion of the Portuguese league will exercise the purchase option of € 8.5M that they had agreed with the Citizens, from Portugal they report that the Lions They are preparing an important shield for the Spanish international once this course ends.
From the Portuguese newspaper The ball They point out that, at the end of his loan period in Lisbon, Pedro Porro will renew until June 2025 with Sporting. “The 22-year-old Spanish international right back, who is on the second of two loan seasons to the Lisbon club from Manchester City, has already agreed to a new contract with the current national champion”says this medium. The 3 goals and 1 assist in the 18 games that the Lions’ right-winger has played this season have served the Portuguese team, rather than deciding whether to take ownership of the Spanish player, to financially reward the great performance offered since he arrived. to the Portuguese capital. From The ball report that Pedro Porro’s new contract entails both a salary increase and the imposition of a new clause.
In this way, Sporting Lisbon intends to scare away the big teams that were after the 22-year-old footballer in case they Lions do not exercise the agreed purchase option. From Portugal they talk that the new termination clause for Pedro Porro, which will go from charging half a million euros to 800 thousand when he signs his new contract, will be around € 45M. Clubs such as Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid had the name of the young Spanish international on their wish list for the next transfer market, but the player’s appreciation has meant that the transfer cannot be carried out due to the figures that they had planned. In the event that colchoneros or madridistas go for the right-hand side, they will have to reach for their wallet to take Pedro Porro from Lisbon.
