Lisbon's "Sporting" this summer may significantly weaken its financial position - it is announced that almost all main team players want to leave this team.
For some time now, incomprehensible things have been happening around "Sporting" - at first the club president suspended almost all players due to improper behavior, then they returned to the team, but soon during one training session they were attacked by fans.
As reported by the media of Portugal, three brightest team stars - Bruno Fernandes, Gelson Martins, and William Carvalho - submitted an official statement to the club requesting that contracts be terminated by mutual agreement.
The players argued that they do not feel safe in the environment of this club. It is said that the "Sporting" president should make a final decision on Thursday.
Long-time Lisbon team goalkeeper Rui Patricio had previously submitted a request to leave. In it, R. Patricio and his representatives wrote a 34-page complaint outlining the players' relationship with the club management and the constant stress they were experiencing.
From all these players, "Sporting" could have earned over 100 million euros. If they terminate their contracts, they will become free agents and will be able to sign contracts with European clubs without any hindrance.
It is said that G. Martins is already being interested by London's "Arsenal", and R. Patricio by the "Liverpool" club.
