The final ruling on the 30 million requested from Inter for Joao Mario

Here’s the English translation of your text:

Nearly two years after the first **FIFA** ruling, today the **CAS in Lausanne** has also issued its decision at the second level regarding **Sporting CP**’s request for €30 million in damages against **Inter** in the **Joao Mario case**.

Confirming what FIFA had already ruled, the CAS in Lausanne – as reported by *La Gazzetta dello Sport* – decided to reject the Portuguese club’s request, ruling that **Inter** does not have to pay any €30 million compensation. **Sporting** had in fact claimed the existence of a clause in Joao Mario’s contract at the time of his sale, which would have obliged the Nerazzurri to pay that sum in the case of a subsequent transfer to other Portuguese clubs.

After returning to Sporting on loan during the 2020/21 season, the attacking midfielder terminated his contract in the summer of 2021 and the next day signed a new contract with Benfica. This led to the anger of the Verdebianchi Sporting’s nickname and their claim for damages to FIFA. After their claim was first rejected, the appeal also went completely in Inter’s favor, meaning the club does not have to pay a single cent.
