Restaurant in Guimarães confirms Sporting star's exit: good luck | OneFootball

Francisco Trincão is living his final days as a Sporting player. The 26-year-old Portuguese winger has been heavily linked with a move to Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia after the two clubs reached an agreement for a transfer that could be worth around €45 million.

While awaiting a final decision on his future, the Lions’ number 17 made the most of his final days of holiday in Portugal after taking part in the 2026 World Cup. It prompted an early public farewell message.

“Thanks for the visit, my friend. And good luck in your next challenge”, reads a post from 'O Chalé Restaurante & Eventos', referring to the next step in the player’s career. The message only fueled even more speculation about a possible departure from Alvalade.

The agreement between Sporting and Al Ahli is reportedly done, with only the player’s own decision now needed for the transfer to go through. The Saudi club is said to have submitted a very high financial offer for the winger, who arrived at Alvalade in 2022.

Over the last few seasons, he has become a standout figure in the Lions’ squad and one of the key players behind the titles recently won by the Club. The winger took on a prominent role in the green-and-white attack and is set to embrace a new challenge in 2026/27.
