It will become clear within a few days whether Andraz Sporar makes the switch from Sporting Portugal to Feyenoord, the Portuguese reported A Bola Monday night. The 27-year-old Slovenian would like to leave for De Kuip himself and his players’ agent has therefore offered the striker to Feyenoord, which is interested in a deal with the Portuguese. The first Rotterdam offer of four million euros was brushed aside by os Leões, but Feyenoord has now made a new proposal, it sounds like.

“A source close to Sporar has said that he is very happy to make the switch to Feyenoord,” the sports newspaper writes. Made last Tuesday Record already a report of the alleged interest of the Rotterdammers, who, however, saw the offer of four million euros for the striker refused. Remarkably enough explained Football International the day after the news, incidentally, that technical director Frank Arnesen does not have the required budget to bring in the attacker and that the Portuguese reporting is not correct.

So now a new Portuguese medium comes with the message that Feyenoord has indeed made an offer, and that there is even an improved offer on the table. The offer has been increased to an amount of 4.5 million euros, which can rise to 7 million euros after bonuses. Reportedly, Sporting can count on a compensation of 500 thousand euros per achieved target as a bonus, so five targets to be achieved in total. The content of those objectives has not been disclosed. Furthermore, there would be a resale percentage involved in the possible transfer.

With the offer now on the table, the expected loss, provided Sporar achieves the set objectives, could be limited or even converted into profit. The thirty-time international for Slovenia was taken over from Slovan Bratislava in January 2020 for six million euros. However, his stay in Lisbon was not a resounding success. In 38 games, he scored 11 goals and 6 assists, before making the move to SC Braga six months ago on a rental basis. There he scored 3 goals in 21 official matches.

Sporar was trained by NK Interblock Ljubljana and earned a transfer to FC Basel in the service of NK Olimpija Ljubljana, which paid just under four million euros. In Switzerland and during a rental period with Arminia Bielefeld, he did not show up, after which he left for Slovan Bratislava. His figures in Slovakian service are impressive: 60 goals and 17 assists in 78 official games. It made Sporting decide to pay him six million euros, but in Portugal he is currently sidetracked and trainer Rúben Amorim does not call on him in preparation.
