Why Sporting and Trincão’s contract talks are stalling is clear | OneFootball

The renewal process of Francisco Trincão with Sporting has been 'halted' again. After a phase of several advances and setbacks, the dossier remains on standby, and the main reason is the salary of the Portuguese international.

The information is being reported by the newspaper A Bola, which states that, despite this, both parties are optimistic at this stage about reaching an agreement soon. The Lions want the winger to stay at Alvalade until 2030, and he also shares this intention.

For now, Trincão has a contract with Sporting until 2027, and everyone wants it to be extended for another three years, but there is a lack of agreement regarding salaries. The same source reveals that the proposed salary increase continues to distance the administration of the green and whites from the player, at a time when discussions on the topic have been ongoing for a while.

Although the parties have not yet reached the final figure, it is becoming clear that the Sporting SAD will place Trincão at the salary cap of the squad - he is already one of the highest-paid players on the Sporting team. Besides the salary, there are other perks included in the renewal, such as the captain's armband.

As soon as Morten Hjulmand leaves Sporting - something expected at the end of the current season -, the 'number 17' will take over the position that currently belongs to the Danish international. Furthermore, the number 10 jersey is also likely to be in his path, although this season it belongs to Geny Catamo; and the release clause may also increase in value (currently, it is at 80M).
