Revealed: staggering figures behind Francisco Trincão's new Sporting deal | OneFootball

Sporting is very close to confirming the contract renewal of Francisco Trincão. The Portuguese international has taken on a star status at the Alvalade Club in recent seasons and is expected to be rewarded with an extension of his contract and a salary increase by the green and white management. Remember that the winger returned to the Academy this Thursday.

The information is being reported by Correio da Manhã. According to the Portuguese newspaper, Sporting is preparing to renew with Francisco Trincão until the summer of 2030. The green and white winger will start receiving three million euros net per year - which means expenses of six million for the lions. If everything is confirmed, the Portuguese international will reinforce his status as the highest-paid player in the leonine squad.

The news was discussed by the NOW panel, which provided some more details about the possible deal. Pedro Sousa began by recalling the lions' purchase last summer, which may be rewarded in the future: "Sporting did Barcelona a favor when they bought the remaining rights of Trincão from Barcelona, and there are no free favors".

On the other hand, Gonçalo Monteiro is skeptical about the renewal and explains that it doesn't necessarily tie the player to Alvalade: "It could be a renewal so that his value is not depreciated at the time of sale. I look at the players who have increased in value the most at Sporting, and I can't help but name Trincão".

Paulo Catarro expressed a different opinion, explaining that Francisco Trincão is happy at Sporting: "At the moment, I find it difficult; he feels good in the city, at the Club, and is one of the highest-paid. When you're doing something you love, I think he doesn't have much desire to go back to the cold of Wolverhampton".
