Sporting hope to open contract talks with one of their players after he was linked with moves to West Ham United, Fulham and Southampton, according to a Portuguese website.
A Bola reported in September that West Ham, Fulham and an unnamed English side had each made unsuccessful bids for the winger, Jovane Cabral.
And Record claimed last month that negotiations were ‘well underway’ between Southampton and Sporting regarding Cabral’s transfer.
No such move materialised, however, with Southampton turning instead to Theo Walcott, while West Ham and Fulham brought in Said Benrahma and Ademola Lookman, respectively.
As such, Sporting have since informed Cabral’s representatives of their intention to set up a meeting shortly, having promised the 22-year-old an extension if he stayed in Lisbon, according to O Jogo.
And the Portuguese side are said to want to increase his buyout clause from €60 million (around £54.1m) to €100m (around £90.2m).
That is not to say, however, that Sporting would not accept a lower amount should West Ham, Fulham or Southampton revive their interest in future transfer windows.
Cabral has scored or assisted two goals in four league games for the side managed by Ruben Amorim this season.
