Pedro Sousa says Rui Borges’ deputy set to stay at Sporting for 2025/26 | OneFootball

Pedro Sousa revealed that Conrad Harder is very close to staying at Sporting in 2025/26. The Portuguese journalist from Correio da Manhã revealed, on NOW, that the lions are having a lot of difficulty in closing Fotis Ioannidis and, without this signing, they will not allow the departure of the young Danish player this summer.

"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 began to explain, regarding the deal for the Greek international.

The Portuguese journalist later explained how this operation implies the departure of the young Danish player: "Harder trained this morning, will train tomorrow and is an option for the game against Porto. And may 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 closed,"

Still about the Greek striker from Panathinaikos, Pedro Sousa explained the following: "If they don't close Ioannidis in the next few hours, and that's not close to happening, Harder will stay at Sporting. The values that Sporting offers this year are lower than what they offered last year. Unless Panathinaikos decides to accept the player's request, the agreement is difficult"

"Sporting has no alternatives, Clayton is not being seen as an alternative. It's not in Sporting's thoughts," Pedro Sousa explained, to conclude, about the possibility of Conrad Harder leaving, in case the lions find an alternative to Ioannidis.
