The reported price tag would mark a fresh benchmark for an Australian export. Sporting analysts viewed Lisbon as Kuol's top pick for a new club despite pursuit from sides in the top flight. Failing to lock into rigid structures, the forward spent days training alongside the Portuguese outfit as the guessing game jumped. Club staff appeared upbeat about getting the paperwork over the line.
