Francisco Trincão is officially an Al Ahli player, with Sporting confirming the transfer of the Portuguese international. The winger’s departure had already been decided a few days ago, with only the end of his participation in the 2026 World Cup and the player’s rest period remaining before the deal could be formalized.
According to the statement sent by Sporting’s SAD to the CMVM, the deal could bring Sporting a total of 50 million dollars, around 43.7 million euros. Of this amount, 45 million dollars (39.3 million euros) is a guaranteed fee, while the remaining five million dollars (4.3 million euros) depends on the achievement of objectives.
The agreement also states that the solidarity mechanism will be covered by the Saudi club. Meanwhile, the green-and-white side will be responsible for paying 10% of the amount received in relation to the intermediary commissions for the deal.
At 26, Trincão thus ends a four-season spell at Alvalade, where he initially arrived on loan from Barcelona. Playing for the Lions, the winger made 208 appearances, scored 47 goals and provided 45 assists.
During his time at Sporting, the Portuguese international won two league titles, one Portuguese Cup and one League Cup. He now begins a new chapter at Al Ahli, the Saudi club that is currently a two-time Asian champion.
