There’s more after Francisco Trincão! Meet Sporting’s class of 2030 | OneFootball

The Sporting continues to consolidate its sports project for the medium and long term. After Pote, Gonçalo Inácio, and Ousmane Diomande, Francisco Trincão is now joining the group of players with extended contracts until 2030, in a clear strategy of stability and enhancing the main assets of the main squad.

The winger, aged 26, recently reached an agreement to extend the contract that was due to end in 2027. The release clause remains at 60 million euros, and the player is now part of the group's salary cap. The official announcement of the agreement is expected to occur before the classic match against Porto, confirming the board's confidence in one of the most used and consistent players in recent seasons.

Since arriving at Alvalade, Trincão has played 186 official matches, scoring 44 goals and providing 39 assists, playing a constant role in the team's attack. His physical availability has also been valued internally, in a season marked by several absences in the squad.

Trincão's renewal fits into a strategy followed by the board in recent months. Pote extended his contract on October 6, 2025, Gonçalo Inácio did so on December 11 of the same year, and Diomande renewed on January 23, 2026. However, there is one name that remains outside this group, with the dossier still open: Geny Catamo.

Rui Borges has already made clear the importance of the number 17 in the team. About the renewal, the coach stated: "I think it's extraordinary. I will be very happy if the renewal happens. For him, for us, and for Sporting. Leadership? He doesn't need to wear an armband. He has always responded, being one of the few who hasn't had long injuries. He always stands up for the team, even in difficult times, he doesn't hide".
