The winger signs a new deal through to 2025

Jovane Cabral has signed a contract extension at Sporting Clube de Portugal, through to 2025 and with a buyout clause of 60 million euros. The winger will continue at the club he has been a part of since 2014.

"I am really happy. It's always good to be where you feel good. This is my home and this is where I feel good,” he began by telling the media after the new deal was announced.

“I'm treated very well here. I had an experience abroad, but I always wanted to come back and I'm very happy to be here."

In the second half of last season, Cabral played for Italian side SS Lazio on loan, but returns to Lisbon with well-defined goals.

“I grew a lot as a player and as a man last year. Sometimes we need to take that step to see other realities and learn from other coaches. I'm very happy with my time there, because I learned a lot, and now I'm back to help Sporting CP."

“I bring the desire to score goals, provide assists and help the team wherever the coach asks me to play. I'm completely focused and ready to work," he continued, before praising coach Rúben Amorim.

"He was always very fond of me and helped me a lot. I am very grateful to be able to work with him, and I look forward to continuing to evolve and learning more from him.”

The 24 year old from Cape Verde has played 97 games and scored 21 goals for the first team, winning Liga Portugal, the Taça de Portugal, Supertaça and three Taças da Liga.

“To the Sportinguistas: I am very happy to be here. Thank you for all of your love over these past few years. I will try to continue to bring more joy to the fans."
