Alexandropoulos was getting closer and closer to Sporting, the Portuguese increased their offer

As the hours go by, the sale of Sotiris Alexandropoulos to Sporting seems to be getting closer as contacts between the two sides continue as the Portuguese still want to finalize the deal on Tuesday (23/8) at the latest on Wednesday (24/8) ) ).

The sale of Mateus Nunes to Wolves for €45m left a gap in the Lions’ middle which they aim to fill by taking on the Greece international. At the last contact between the two sides, Sporting upped their offer to €5m (4 plus 1 with possible bonuses) and they also give the Klee a 10% resale rate.

With Panathinaikos asking for a higher percentage, negotiations are now “stalled” and appear unable to spoil the final agreement. After all, the Portuguese have money in the bank following the sale of Nunes and are burning for the player they have had on their list for a year and who has passed all the Sporting People’s checks.

Both live and with games that the Lions’ scouts followed in Athens and with the information collected about the profile of the 21-year-old midfielder. After all, Amorim also gave the final okay.

Maybe Alexandropoulos in Portugal on Wednesday

The Portuguese’s first official approach to Panathinaikos took place five days ago. When Sporting said yes to the sale of Nunes and the second proposal arrived at the Cloverleaf on Tuesday afternoon.

As everything seems, the agreement and the yes of Panathinaikos is a matter of hours. And we should not rule out that it will be completed by Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.

While it’s not out of the question that if developments continue on Wednesday, the young midfielder will travel to Portugal to undergo medical tests and sign his contract.

He also terminated Slimani’s contract

In fact, on Tuesday, Sporting also canceled Slimani’s contract, which is one of the heavy contracts that the Lisbon team had and didn’t count before this season, giving them more money in their coffers to invest in strengthening.
