Last month Sporting training base was attacked by armed men and several players were seriously injured. Portuguese press suggested that Sporting president Bruno de Carvalho was responsible for that actions. Players decided not to hesitate and unilaterally terminated their contracts with the club. The list of players mentioned before may be updated with the names of Rodrigo Battaglia, Marcos Acuna and Jeremy Mathieu.
- Sporting went down in value for €135 million already
