Sporting Club is urged by Rui Borges to extend Matheus Reis' contract amidst the ongoing dispute
Sporting Coach Rui Borges Eyes Long-Term Future with Matheus Reis
Portuguese football club Sporting is considering renewing the contract of defender Matheus Reis, according to A Bola. Although Reis' current contract expires after the upcoming season, Borges wishes to extend the deal for the Brazilian full-back until 2028, signifying his faith in the player.
However, the talks for a new contract are yet to reach a conclusion, with the negotiation status labelled undecided. The ultimate decision lies with the Sporting Administration and Development (SAD) of the Alvalade club.
Reis recently found himself embroiled in controversy during the Portuguese Cup final, when it appeared he stepped on the head of Torino's Andrea Belotti.
A notable foreigner in Sporting's history, Reis has clinched three national titles during his tenure at the club - in the 2020/21, 2023/24, and 2024/25 seasons.
Sources suggest that Reis, along with teammates like Morten Hjulmand, Viktor Gyökeres, and Quenda, have been the subject of discussions concerning their behavior within the club. Despite this, Rui Borges continues to make changes to the team's lineup and substitutions, albeit with no clear mention of his engagement in contract negotiations with Matheus Reis.
For updated information or official announcements regarding the contract renewal, it is advised to refer to the Sporting CP website or recent news updates.
Rui Borges' intention to extend Matheus Reis' contract until 2028 indicates a different focus, despite the ongoing contract negotiations not reaching a decision yet. Regardless of recent controversies involving Reis and other teammates, the Brazilian full-back has proven his worth, having won three national titles in European-leagues football for Sporting Club, not limited to the 2020/21, 2023/24, and 2024/25 seasons.
