Sporting set for huge windfall after expected sale of key trio | OneFootball

Sporting’s SAD is preparing for a summer of major activity in the transfer market and has already set an ambitious target for the next window. The expectation is to secure at least 120 million euros from player sales, a figure that could rise significantly if negotiations move forward for some of the main stars of the Lions’ squad.

After raising more than 181 million euros from transfers last summer, driven above all by the departure of Viktor Gyökeres to Arsenal, those in charge at Alvalade believe it will be possible to repeat an extremely profitable market. Trincão and Hjulmand are seen as the squad’s most valuable assets and, between them alone, could bring in around 100 million euros for the green-and-white SAD.

Trincão is going through one of the most highly valued periods of his career after several seasons of growth at Alvalade. The Portugal international recently renewed his contract until 2030, but the possibility of a return to the Premier League remains on the table. Liverpool are among the main clubs interested in the 26-year-old winger, whose release clause is set at 60 million euros.

Morten Hjulmand is also expected to be at the centre of one of Sporting’s hottest summer sagas. The Sporting captain, signed from Lecce for 21 million euros, has been linked with several European giants, including Real Madrid. At Alvalade there is a belief that the Danish midfielder is ready to make the leap to a bigger league, with Frederico Varandas reportedly having already promised to facilitate his departure if a suitable offer arrives.

Pote’s future remains more uncertain. The green-and-white number 8 continues to be one of the most influential players in Sporting’s squad, but the physical problems of recent seasons raise some doubts about the next step in his career. Sporting are willing to negotiate the player’s sale for figures around 30 million euros, plus bonuses, although so far no concrete offer has arrived.
