The audacity of sporting. You made 40 plus million Euros on a flop of a player we have been trying to offload for years. Just take your win and move on.
Not only that. They also brought Mario back on a free loan with Inter paying 2/3 of his wages and they even received 1m Scudetto bonus while Mario was playing for them and leading them to a title win. But all that wasn't enough for them. They could have signed him on a permanent basis for just 7m but they chose to lowball us by offering half of that because of that clause in his contract. And now they're crying because Inter said enough is enough with their bs.

I cannot help but feel that Joao Mario is one of the shittest worthless players in our history.

And if he does not qualify for that category, he is definitely the biggest cunt in the club's history.

@brehme1989 who is older than everyone here should be able to take that decision. I'm also curious about this

Sum up the mega shit that Sporting had on us.

I hope we learn from this and make sure in the future that add-ons bonus should be with condition that the player is still playing for the team. It is unbelievable that we paid 2/3 his wages (and he brought title for Sporting), and we still had to pay extra 1 mio because we got scudetto even without Jomar playing for us.

I'm really sceptical over that Scudetto bonus story.

In terms of ROI Mario is probably the worst.

I read that Sporting wants to sue Inter because allegedly they put a clause which says if Mario is registered with another Portuguese club, 30 million should be paid to Sporting?

Lol. Whoever was on our side in that dealing is an imbecile. How can you let that stand? It only makes sense that you put some % of future transfer fee.

Now the court may find that Inter had cheated Sporting by terminating contract with Mario so that he can join Benfica and still pay those 30 million.

Don't over-worry. It's like accusing you of murdering when people have seen you two arguing months before lol. Zero evidence.

Sporting is just a crying whore, as they always have been :yao: 30m my ass.

I don't worry, whoever was dealing on our behalf and Suning should, in case they owe 30 million.

This terrible clause was written into the contract for the player. Since we terminated his contract their claims are groundless even if we done it with the knowledge he would join another Portuguese club.

if they do decide to push ahead and try to sue then at least we’ll have something to enjoy over this mercato.

There is nothing to worry about. The clause apparently was in Joao Mario's transfer deal that if we sell Joao Mario to another Portuguese club, we need to pay the penalty. It's still unclear what the clause was in detail (though I think someone posted it here in Portuguese?).

Anyway, we terminated his contract, he became free agent. After that, we have no control in Joao Mario's next steps. He decided to sign for Benfica.

This is on Sporting themselves. They had agreed to pay us 7.5m€, they ended up offering less and I guess they offered less to Joao Mario too than initially agreed. Player got pissed, Inter got pissed. That deal went south, because of Sporting. Now they are just acting butthurt because they were the ones ruining the whole thing.

Sporting is suing us to TAS and wants 30m penalty. There is a precedence that supports them:
According to Record, there is a precedent that could play in favor of Sporting and concerns another Italian club. In 2017, in fact, in the transfer contract to Turin for 5.5 million euros, Osasuna had inserted a clause that prevented the grenades from selling the player to another Basque club. Well, FIFA sentenced the Piedmontese club to pay a 1.5 million fine for the transfer of the player a year ago to Athletic Bilbao.
Not sure whether I should hate Sporting or Cagliari more...those cheap cunts.
