Sporting Lisbon are moving to secure the future of their teenage star, Nuno Mendes, as they seek to protect him from teams like Arsenal.
Mendes was linked to a move to Arsenal in the newly closed transfer window when he broke into Sporting’s first team in impressive fashion.
The 18-year-old is also a star on Portugal’s U21 national team and is a player that European teams, including Liverpool, have been monitoring.
Sporting is not naive and they know that teams will soon come looking for him to sign and A Bola says he is looking to renew his current contract with them.
He currently has a 45 million euro buyout clause in his contract, but the Portuguese giants hope to increase it by offering him a new contract.
He states that the club is willing to offer him a new contract with a higher salary and that his termination clause will also be improved.
The deal will take him through 2025.
Arsenal have had a good summer transfer window, they looked at the areas that needed to be strengthened and they did just that, if Mendes is part of their plans in January or next summer, you can be sure they will make a concerted effort to get there. .
