Liedson set for Sporting stay

Sporting Lisbon striker Liedson looks likely to remain with the Portuguese outfit.

Sporting Lisbon striker Liedson looks likely to remain with the Portuguese outfit despite reported interest from several other clubs.

Premiership outfit Fulham and Brazilian side Corinthians are thought to be monitoring the situation, whilst Deportivo La Coruna are believed to have made an enquiry.

The talented Brazilian notched 25 goals last term - in the process helping Sporting to the Uefa Cup final.

Such form has also led to interest from Italy but it would appear the player could now be ready to pen a new deal at Sporting.

Liedson is believed to have asked for a hike in his wages from ‚é¼35,000 a month to ‚é¼100,000 but Sporting are unlikely to concur on such a figure.

Corinthians are believed to be willing to pay the ‚é¼100,000 a month Liedson hankers for but it is more likely a compromise figure of ‚é¼75,000 will be reached with Sporting.
