Sporting’s interest in Marcus Edwards, which ABOLA reported first-hand in the summer and which was rekindled by the opening of the market and which our newspaper reported yesterday only yesterday, has its advantages.
The lion has the opportunity to wait until the end of the month, but yesterday, taking advantage of the presence of Frederico Varandas in the north of the country, he continued conversations with the 23-year-old English striker, now directly with Vitoria. de Guimarães, even because of the interest in Bruno Gaspard’s Guimaraes emblem and the discovery of the lion when moving up the stop.
Remember that Marcus Edwards trained at Tottenham, the English emblem that placed the winger in Guimaraes, retaining half of the rights, and that did not prevent the transition from Guimaraes to Alvalade in the summer. The British are now supposed to be in the same position, that is, they are leaving themselves out of direct negotiations between Sporting and Vitoria, but retaining their stake in Edwards, who, as you may recall, has a € 50 million buyback clause …
Sporting reported to A BOLA yesterday that it was willing to pledge 6 million euros for the signing of the winger, half of the amount Vitoria requested in the summer for the release of Marcus Edwards and which forced the lion to seek alternatives, namely Sarabia. , the reason is the transition of Nuno Mendes to Paris Saint-Germain.
But yesterday, according to data compiled by A BOLA, he hinted that he could raise rates by about one to two million euros to close the deal by the end of the month.
