UEFA Champions League
Sporting CP is in the final stages of a strategic negotiation that could shape its winter transfer market and, at the same time, significantly improve the economic situation of Granada CF. The Portuguese club is very close to closing a deal valued at 7 million euros, a priority operation to urgently strengthen its attack.
In the offices of Sporting CP, there is total consensus: signing players with pace and goal-scoring ability is essential to face the second half of the season with guarantees. Therefore, the club has accelerated talks to bring them to a practically definitive stage.
Sporting CP makes a strong bet on an immediate signing
The sporting management of Sporting CP believes that this transfer meets all necessary conditions to be approved quickly. The figure of 7 million euros fits within the club's financial limit and responds to a clear sporting need.
The agreement stipulates that Granada CF will receive 3.5 million euros, corresponding to 50% of the player's rights, an amount that generates a direct profit close to 3 million.
For Sporting CP, the operation represents a manageable investment aligned with its market policy. For Granada CF, it provides immediate financial relief.
Granada CF and a direct impact on the salary cap
From Granada CF's perspective, the operation has a strategic value beyond the transfer. The profit obtained allows an increase in the salary cap by around 750,000 euros, as well as freeing up salary related to the player's contract.
The remaining 2.25 million from the operation are directly allocated to reducing losses, a crucial aspect for the financial planning of the Andalusian club this season.
In this context, Granada CF sees the negotiation as an opportunity to balance the books without immediately weakening the sports project.
The loan of Souleymane Fayé, a key part of the agreement
One of the pivotal points of the negotiation revolves around Souleymane Fayé. Granada CF has requested Sporting CP to include a loan until the end of the season in the agreement.

Continuing with Souleymane Fayé would allow Pacheta to retain an important player in the midst of competition, facilitating agreement between the parties.
Sporting CP views this arrangement positively, aware that the loan could definitively unblock the transfer.
A beneficial move for both clubs
Sporting CP believes that finalizing this transfer not only strengthens its squad but also does so without jeopardizing its financial stability. The urgency to add offensive threat has been decisive in the pace of negotiations.
Meanwhile, Granada CF gains financial leeway, improves its salary cap, and keeps Souleymane Fayé until the end of the season, a key aspect of its sports planning.
Sporting CP, determined to close the deal
Negotiations are in the final stages, and there is optimism within Sporting CP to finalize the agreement in the coming days. The figure of 7 million euros has been agreed upon, and only contractual details remain.
Sporting CP aims to avoid delays and secure as soon as possible a transfer it considers essential for its immediate sporting goals.
With this move, Sporting CP strengthens its attack, while Granada CF achieves financial stability and sporting continuity, in an operation that is shaping up to be one of the most astute of the winter market.
