Transfer market in the final stretch: Sporting facing difficulties selling while Benfica and Porto reinforce themselves

SIC Notícias31 August 2026 at 15:28

The transfer market is in its final phase, with the main Portuguese clubs in distinct movements. Benfica secured the signing of El Karouani, who strengthens the encarnado squad, while Porto closed the signing of Santiago Giménez to strengthen the dragões' attack.

In contrast, Sporting is going through significant difficulties to place the surplus players from their roster. The club from Alvalade faces challenges in negotiating the players who are not in the team's sporting plans for this season.

This disparity in activity between the three giants comes at a critical moment in the market, when negotiations intensify and decisions need to be made quickly before the transfer window closes.
