It’s not just Hjulmand: Amorim wants another Sporting starter

Francisco Trincão has been added to Milan’s list of potential reinforcements for next season. After being linked with Morten Hjulmand, the Portuguese international has now also come onto the radar of the Rossoneri officials, largely due to the influence of Ruben Amorim, who recently took charge of the historic Italian club.

According to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the former Sporting coach likes the characteristics of the Lions’ winger and sees the ‘number 17’ as an interesting option to strengthen the team’s attack. The connection between the two is strong, as Trincão experienced the best moments of his career under Amorim’s guidance at Alvalade.

The Portuguese coach knows the qualities of the Portugal international well and believes the player could fit into the style of play he wants to implement in Milan. Over the past few seasons, Trincão has established himself as one of Sporting’s most influential figures, playing a key role both in build-up play and in the team’s attacking output.

Despite Milan’s interest, a potential transfer is far from straightforward. Sporting do not intend to part with one of the most important players in the squad, and Frederico Varandas feels no pressure whatsoever to negotiate the sale of one of the most valuable assets in Rui Borges’ team.

In addition, Francisco Trincão remains protected by a long-term contract with the Lions and by a release clause set at €60 million. Figures that make any deal particularly complicated for the Italians, especially at a time when Milan are trying to balance investment with financial sustainability.
