Lisbon paid about 5 million euros for the safety of Diego Capel.
Although initially Sevilla demanded twice the amount, the Portuguese managed to negotiate much more favorable conditions. Capel will sign a five-year contract.
Last season, the winger played 27 matches in the Spanish championship, starting in 17 of them, but did not score any goals.
Sporting has ambitious plans for the next season to outperform the country's champion Porto and has already acquired players like Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Oguchi Onyewu, Stijn Schaars, and Valeri Bojinov.
