Belgian footballer Zeno Debast will strengthen Sporting with a five-season contract until June 30, 2029 and a buyout clause of 80 million euros (ME), the national champions said on Thursday.
“Zeno Debast is a reinforcement for Portuguese side Sporting. The 20-year-old central defender arrives in Alvalade from Anderlecht and has signed a contract until 2029 with a release clause of €80 million,” the Lions wrote in a statement.
Debast, 20, who represented Belgium at Euro 2024 in two matches, joins Sporting after three seasons at Anderlecht, the club where he completed his apprenticeship.
