Sporting not messing about, wage cap set for Francisco Trincão | OneFootball

Francisco Trincão is one of the next players on Sporting’s contract renewal list. After Pedro Gonçalves, the ‘number 17’ file also moved forward, but it is now on hold and should return to the agenda of the green and white management in the coming days, with an urgent matter to resolve.

When it comes to extending the Portuguese international’s contract, it becomes clear that this agreement will review the salary situation of Rui Borges’ starter, who is already one of the highest-paid players in the squad. However, the newspaper A Bola reveals that the Lions already have a salary cap in mind for Trincão.

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

Another of Trincão’s ‘rewards’ at the time of renewal will be joining the green and white captaincy structure, with the armband to be handed to him upon the departure of Morten Hjulmand, which is expected to happen in the summer of 2026.

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.
