Daniel Bragança is on track to complete a permanent transfer from Sporting to Torino in January as he closes in on the appearance threshold that triggers a mandatory €2.5 million purchase clause, A Bola reported.
Torino initially secured the 27-year-old midfielder on a summer loan deal for a €1 million fee. Under the terms of the agreement, the Italian club must make the transfer permanent once Bragança plays at least 45 minutes in 15 separate matches.
The Portuguese midfielder has already made nine total appearances for Torino, meeting the 45-minute minimum in seven of those outings. He requires eight more appearances matching that duration to fulfill the mandatory clause.
Having featured consecutively since the third matchday of the Serie A season, Bragança is projected to reach the 15-game mark on Jan. 10 against Atalanta, assuming he maintains his current role and playing time.
Sporting could receive up to €4.5 million through various fees
The base package for the transaction totals €3.5 million, combining the initial €1 million loan fee with the upcoming €2.5 million purchase option. Total proceeds for Sporting could eventually reach €4.5 million if specific performance and team objectives are met.
Sporting stands to gain an additional €500,000 tied to benchmarks based on the player’s cumulative match blocks. A further €500,000 bonus is contingent on Torino securing qualification for European competition.
Torino currently sits 11th in the Serie A standings with 14 points through 11 matches. The club trails Frosinone by six points for the sixth position, which marks the threshold for qualification to the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Career path from Alcochete to Serie A
Bragança joined Sporting’s youth academy as an under-10 player during the 2007–08 season and progressed through the ranks at Alcochete before breaking into the senior squad for the 2020–21 campaign.
Before establishing himself in Lisbon, the midfielder gained professional experience on loan with Farense during the 2018–19 season, where he scored two goals in 16 appearances. He subsequently spent the 2019–20 campaign with Estoril, contributing four goals and five assists across 22 matches.
His current contract with Sporting runs through 2028. The temporary departure agreed upon in the summer transfer window is set to become a permanent exit when the winter market opens in January.
