The 25-year-old Palhinha, who basically operates as a defensive midfielder, has been closely tied to a move to the Premier League, as the Wolves have the trailblazers to continue their summer spending frenzy in Portugal.
The wolves have already made two Portuguese additions to this summer’s movement window, joining Benfica’s Fabio Silva (36 million pounds) and VItor Ferreira of FC Porto (on loan), according to TransferMarkt and palhinha from Sporting Lisbon was expected to become the last addition of the Del interior. .
However, despite the growing hypothesis that wolves might be willing to make a move for Palhinha, CaughtOffside recently received exclusive data from a source near Sporting Lisbon that has taken the decision on the advice not to allow the midfielder to walk away.
We perceive that Sporting Lisbon’s board of directors has reversed its initial resolve to settle for donations from the 25-year-old midfielder and will see the player dedicate their long-term for the Portuguese club by providing him with a new agreement.
Our source showed that Sporting Lisbon is preparing to offer Palhinha a new agreement until 2025, which includes a minimum termination clause of 60 million euros.
Sporting Lisbon’s resolve to offer a new agreement to the much-loved midfielder put an end to the hypothesis that it could simply lead Portugal to the Premier League.
