Inter loan João Mário for one season. Slimani admitted reducing his salary by € 2.8 million by 50%, but the lions rejected

Sporting was close, four years later, to seeing two “children” return home, but only João Mário will do so, since there was no agreement with Slimani, the other name that marked the market incidents during the day on Monday. -market.

THE GAME learned that the midfielder will be loaned one year through Inter Milan, while the forward will have to find another destination, after admitting that he will cut his salary in half (2.8 million euros net) and proposed to stop contract with Leicester, which would be no problem. However, SAD thought the value would remain prohibitive.

Starting with João Mário, the 27-year-old midfielder had the possibility of being handed over to Torino, he wanted to embrace a project that would allow him to play in UEFA competitions, but the possibilities of returning home and showing himself, on Portuguese soil, to coach Fernando Santos, they ended up speaking louder.

The great illusion of the international is to mark his place in the Eurocup next year, considering that this change could be decisive in this regard. As for the contract, it is on loan for one season, paying Sporting just over a third (1 million euros) of the net salary (2.7 million euros) that it celebrated with the Nerazzurri. As far as we know, no purchase option is contemplated, in a deal that must be communicated in the next few hours, given the athlete’s need to register until … this Tuesday.

As for Slimani, now 32 years old, he asked the foxes to release him, without prejudice, delegating the dialogue with Sporting to Federico Pastorello, his representative. That’s exactly what happened, but the wage differentials ended up destroying the negotiations late Monday night.

The GAME knows that Super Slim’s wish was to return to Alvalade, who even agreed to cut his salary in half (1.4 million euros / season), but that even so the conditions did not please the society led by Frederico Varandas . To this was also added the desire of Rúben Amorim to concentrate his efforts on Paulinho, the Braga striker for whom the Verdiblancos will make one last effort this Tuesday, the day on which the Portuguese market closes doors, pointing to the value of the clause. , 15 million.

A desire for balconies

As O GOGO reported on May 23, it was the wish of the president of the lions to see some of the leading figures of recent times return to Alvalade, a scene momentarily removed by Amorim, who prioritized other names.

Even so, Varandas considers it essential that this group is capable of nurturing capital gains that at the same time pass experience to “petizes”. João Mário, at least he, will bring this baggage, and the possibility that Sporting will make another extra foray into the market to balance a squad with many young people is not excluded, despite the great quality that the structure recognizes them.
