Sporting CP Winger Pedro Goncalves Seals €25m Fiorentina Switch
Fiorentina director of sport Fabio Paratici wrapped up a deadline agreement on September 2, 2026, to bring Sporting CP winger Pedro Goncalves to Italy. The transfer structure carries an initial €2.5m loan fee alongside a €22.5m purchase option that triggers an automatic obligation if specific performance markers are met.
Pedro Goncalves arrives in Florence as a 28-year-old winger holding four senior caps for the Portugal national team. The attacker previously established himself in Lisbon following a switch from Famalicao in 2020.

The deal functions as a complex financial domino that alters squads across multiple leagues. Fiorentina agreed to offload midfielder Rolando Mandragora to Torino for approximately €5m, allowing the Turin club to streamline their own roster. That departure immediately clears the path for 22-year-old Lithuanian international Gvidas Gineitis to complete his move to Celtic ahead of competing interest from RB Salzburg.
