Bad news for cup crackers Everton as Moutinho pledges future to Sporting
Everton target Joao Moutinho has signed a contract extension with Sporting Lisbon which will keep him at the club until June 2014.
The 22-year-old Portugal midfielder attracted interest from several Premier League clubs after last summer's European Championships, but has committed himself to a further year with Sporting. His previous deal was due to expire in 2013.
The new contract contains a withdrawal clause of around £20million, Sporting confirmed on their official website.
