Sporting go all out to keep former Barcelona star at Alvalade | OneFootball

Sporting is aware of what renewing Francisco Trincão’s contract entails, especially on a financial level, since this will have to include a salary increase and the Portuguese international is already one of the highest earners in the green and white squad. Even so, talks with this objective are expected to continue soon.

When it comes to extending the contract of the ‘number 17’ – after this already happened with Pedro Gonçalves – it becomes clear that this agreement will review the salary situation of Rui Borges’ starter, who is already among the best paid in the squad. However, the newspaper A Bola reveals that the Lions already have a salary cap in mind for Trincão.

As such, not only the salary but also the player’s status will end up placing him at the top of Sporting’s team hierarchy, especially in terms of earnings. The winger’s new contract is expected to be for another three years, that is, from 2027 to 2030, with the release clause rising from 80 million euros to 100M – the highest level at Alvalade, where Fotis Ioannidis is also included.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Francisco Trincão – valued at 35 million euros – has played 11 matches. At the start of this season, the Portuguese international forward started every official game, already recording five goals and three assists.
