Pote and Trincão in talks with Sporting, at different stages | OneFootball

Sporting has already identified the two priority dossiers to address during the 2025/26 season: the contract renewals of Pedro Gonçalves and Francisco Trincão. Even after the end of the transfer window, the Lions are living through intense days and continue to try to secure the greatest crown jewels at Alvalade.

The two players have established themselves as very important for the green and white club, both for their performances on the field and their status among the fans. Thus, Sporting wants to ensure quality for the future and renew the contracts of two of the most highly-rated players under Rui Borges.

The situations regarding the pair of Portuguese wingers are different. Regarding Francisco Trincão, Sporting paid 11 million euros to Barcelona this summer to secure the percentage of the left winger’s rights that was still held by the Catalan club. After that, they moved forward with the renewal, which is well underway.

According to the newspaper A Bola, with Trincão, the terms of the new contract have been outlined and accepted by both parties. The new deal is valid until 2030, and the player will see his release clause rise from 60 to 80 million euros, due to his increased value over the last two seasons – in fact, negotiations were supposed to be concluded by August, but the market delayed this scenario.

More complicated is the renewal of Pote, as our newspaper has already reported exclusively in Leonino. Although it is by no means ruled out, the talks are not as advanced as in the case of Francisco Trincão, so the green and white officials know that this process still requires several steps before reaching a successful conclusion.
