July 27 (Reuters) - Sporting have turned down a 15 million euro ($23.5 million) bid from Premier League side Everton for Portuguese midfielder Joao Moutinho, the Lisbon club said on its website (www.scp.pt) on Sunday.

"I want to leave Sporting. The club management already knows my wish," the 21-year-old Moutinho, told reporters. The player's contract runs until 2013 and includes a 25-million euro rescission clause.
