Sporting CP will pass on signing permanently Yannick Bolasie.

Bolasie is on-loan at Sporting from Everton to the end of the season.

O Jogo says the Lions have not been satisfied with Bolasie's form this season - which has seen score only twice and contribute four assists - and will not pay the reported €4.5m to keep him after the end of this season.

Previously, club president Frederico Varandas had said a decision had already been made over the option to buy it but was being kept private.
