U-turn! Conrad Harder edging closer... To staying at Sporting | OneFootball

Pedro Sousa, a Portuguese journalist from Correio da Manhã, revealed on NOW, that Sporting's deal for Ioannidis is close to falling through, which, in turn, will keep Conrad Harder with the lions this summer. This seems to be the latest development in the saga that has marked the last few days of the green and white transfer market.

"There is no agreement and the difference between what Sporting offers and what Panathinaikos wants is very large. The Greeks want more than 20 million, Sporting is not there yet. Sporting wanted to pay 18 million, but Panathinaikos wants something around 24 million. There is no agreement", Pedro Sousa explained about the deal for the Greek international.

The Portuguese journalist then explained how this operation affects the departure of the young Dane: "Harder trained in the morning, will train tomorrow and is an option for the game against Porto. And he might even stay at Sporting this summer. Harder will train tomorrow, and Milan and Rennes have already been informed that Harder will not leave if Ioannidis is not secured".

Still on the Greek forward from Panathinaikos, Pedro Sousa explained the following: "If they don't secure Ioannidis in the next few hours, and that's not close to happening, Harder will stay at Sporting. The amounts Sporting is offering this year are lower than what they offered last year. Unless Panathinaikos agrees to the player's request, the deal is difficult".

"Sporting has no alternatives, Clayton is not being seen as an alternative. He is not in Sporting's plans", Pedro Sousa concluded, regarding the possibility of Conrad Harder leaving if the lions find an alternative for Ioannidis.
