However, Record have disagreed with Sky. In their Thursday’s edition, the Portuguese newspaper mentions the English article, but says that according to their own information, Sporting have no interest in signing the striker.
The 26-year-old reportedly earns €4m net per season at Everton, which Record considers too high for Sporting to pay. The Portuguese side would be ready to invest strongly in a big name for their attack, but that would not be the case for Niasse.
Everton paid £15m to buy Niasse from Lokomotiv Moscow last winter, but the player failed to get much game time in his first months in Liverpool. He played for only 151 minutes and couldn’t score any goals.
It’s really not like Record to rule out interest, they love a transfer rumour. Therefore, you’d have to believe they have good reason to rubbish this.
