On 11 June 2024, during an interview for Het Laatste Nieuws , Debast confirmed that he had agreed personal terms to join Portuguese side Sporting CP from the 2024–25 season. [5] [6]

Sporting CP

On 4 July, Debast signed a five-year contract with Primeira Liga side Sporting CP, for a fee of €15.5 million, plus €5.5 million in add-ons, and a 15% sell-on clause in favor of Anderlecht. [7] [8] [7]

On 7 August, he made his debut for the club, where he committed two errors, that led to rivals Porto first and second goals in their 4–3 loss in the 2024 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.
