Probably an overpay, but it’s pretty cool to see how much spending power we seem to have now. hopefully he can play at a high level here, can’t think of many guys that have successfully made the jump from Braga - just Lima and Rafa come to mind.
Looks like another midfielder is secured, probably to replace Morita who posted a heartfelt goodbye on his social media account. Pedro Lima from AVS is close to signing for around 4M euros + 2M in objectives.
Record is reporting we've struck a deal with Venezia for Issa Doumbia. The 22 year old Italian midfielder, of Ivorian descent, is expected to cost 20M euros + 3M in objectives. A contract with an 80M release clause awaits him. That's over 55M euros spent on Zalazar, Doumbia and Pedro Lima, and the season's not even over yet. Varandas makin' it rain.
What the hell is going on???? We are buying players before we sell our own? Usually we sell the week before the market closes then are shopping in the scrap isle???? This doesn’t feel right haha
The club seems determined to avoid the late work of previous years, that’s for certain. Seem to be overpaying for these players but hopefully the scouting is on point and they become more valuable assets and excel at Sporting. Never seen Doumbia at all, just vague memories of the last Ivorian Doumbia that played for the club. Seems like another timeline now.
Add another name to the list, Silas Andersen, 21 year old Danish midfielder from BK Hacken is being negotiated and would be another addition to the midfield.
Here we go for Doumbia 🚨🦁 Issa Doumbia to Sporting, here we go! Deal verbally agreed between all parties involved and medicals to follow.€20m fixed fee, €3m easy add-ons and €3m difficult add-ons.🟢⚪️ Doumbia, ready to become Sporting’s second signing after Zalazar from Braga for €30m. pic.twitter.com/6ikid6qve5— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) May 21, 2026
Official: Rodrigo Ribeiro sold to Augsburg for 5M. The player was on loan and had a buy option that was now exercised by the German club.
Rodrigo I never really thought he'd go anywhere here, but Mateus Fernandes now being talked about to the top English clubs. Surely he would be better here than Kocho?
Official: Pedro Lima signs from AVS SAD for 4M euros + 2M in future bonus objectives He's our 2nd official signing after Zalazar, but Doumbia is already in Lisbon and is expected to be announced soon, with Silas Andersen also close to joining us.
🚨 João Palhinha gives priority to Tottenham as the feeling with Roberto De Zerbi is very good.If deal can’t be agreed with Spurs, Sporting are keen and ready to act but #THFC are the priority for João. pic.twitter.com/tbsXGxcM93— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 1, 2026

In news coming out of nowhere... Suarez apparently has agreed personal terms with Fenerbahce 🚨 EXCL: Luís Suárez has now reached an agreement on personal terms with Fenerbahçe project backed by presidential candidate Hakan Safi.Move remains conditional on the outcome of the club's presidential election in the coming days — and agreement on fee with Sporting CP. pic.twitter.com/KBUrI2qe6M— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 3, 2026
It's a presidential candidate but even so, no transfer fee agreed, and maybe another striker drama this summer
I dont recall Fenerbahçe paying even 30 mil for a player? I can't see them even getting close to what SCP would want to let him go.
Who knows, it could all be BS and Fabrizio is just getting paid to circulate that rumour. But remember Galatasaray paid 75M for Osimhen, the Turks are crazy. As much as he's been great for us if they come with 60+ mill for a 29 year old we can't say no
Sounds like we have added a young DM Silas Anderson for 8 mil plus objectives.... I have never seen him play, but just watching videos seems to be a tall lanky player with decent range, could be interesting at only 21 years of age.
He scored a great goal in his last game, looks like a lot of potential. That's 4 signings and it's only June. I think now we wait for exits to see if we make any more purchases.
