His 68 league goals over the past two seasons outstripped even the top scorers from Europe’s elite five leagues, making him a valuable asset both on the pitch and in the transfer market.

Big Boots to Fill
In order to replace Gyökeres, Sporting turned to Suarez, who netted 27 times for Almeria in Spain’s Segunda Division last season.
These goals came from an expected goals (xG) tally of 25.83, showcasing his consistency and finishing prowess. He also converted 40% of his big chances, scoring 18 out of 45 clear-cut opportunities — a statistic that impressed Sporting’s scouting team.

Marcus Rashford: How the Former Manchester United Star's First Training With Barcelona Went
Marcus Rashford has unofficially begun training with Barcelona as he awaits formal confirmation of his transfer from Manchester United.
Suarez’s signing is a strategic move by Sporting as they seek to maintain their domestic dominance and make a deeper run in European competitions.
“We’ve tracked Suarez for some time,” a club official added. “His numbers speak for themselves, and he’s only 26 — there’s a lot more to come.”
A Journeyman Finds His Stage
Suarez’s career has taken him across Europe, with stints at Watford, Granada, and Marseille.
Despite being at Watford from 2017 to 2021, he failed to make an appearance in either the Premier League or Championship, instead spending time out on loan.
In the 2022–2023 season, he joined Ligue 1 side Marseille, where he scored three goals in seven appearances.

Ruben Amorim Reveals Plan to Unleash Manchester United Captain Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes is set for a standout season under Ruben Amorim, who plans to unleash the Manchester United captain.
His standout season at Almeria has now put him in the spotlight.
Although Almeria fell short in their La Liga promotion hopes, losing in the playoffs to Real Oviedo, Suarez’s individual brilliance didn’t go unnoticed. The striker's sale was ultimately sanctioned by Almeria following their failed promotion bid.
Sporting supporters will be hoping Suarez can replicate Gyökeres’ impact and build on the club’s recent momentum.
The €25 million investment shows Sporting’s intent to remain at the top, while the €80 million release clause signals how highly they value their new No. 9.
