Sporting CP has officially announced the contract renewal of center-back Eduardo Quaresma until June 2031.

The new deal includes an increased release clause of 80 million euros and a salary rise from approximately 500,000 euros net per year to over 1 million euros annually.

In the 2025/26 season, he scored two goals and provided three assists in 31 matches.
