The midfielder extends his contract with Sporting CP

Pedro Gonçalves has renewed his contract with Sporting Clube de Portugal through to 2026. The midfielder, who arrived at Alvalade in 2020/2021, has a buyout clause of 80 million euros.

“The feeling that I have is one of pride because of a job well done last season. The renewal is a kind of extra confidence boost from the Club for me, but it also means that I have to give even more and continue to make Sporting CP, the fans and my family proud”, he began by telling the media after the signing of the new contract.

“I have to keep working every day and do my best in every training session, because if I do that then I'm always closer to playing. When I'm on the pitch, I give my all for this Club".

Gonçalves had an unforgettable debut season, in which he won the Liga Portugal and Taça da Liga, as well as being the league's top scorer with 23 goals from 32 games.

“I know my abilities and I'm very happy about the great season I had,” he said, adding that "I don't focus on the number of goals or assists that I have. What I like is playing and giving my all, and I hope that this is my calling card".

“My objective is to work hard every day for the team and for the coach, and have a season as good as -or better- than last year", he stated.

Addressing Sporting CP's Partners and supporters, the Portuguese international said that: “I hope you are proud of this great team, because we feel very proud to have your support. I hope that you continue to go to the stadium because, without a doubt, you are our greatest strength".
