Trincão could unlock Gustavo Sá at Sporting; Jorge Mendes steps in | OneFootball

Gustavo Sá has once again appeared on the list of potential Sporting signings for this summer transfer window. However, any move by the Lions for the Famalicão attacking midfielder will be directly dependent on Francisco Trincão’s departure.

According to Correio da Manhã, the SAD led by Frederico Varandas rates the Portugal Under-21 international very highly and is already aware of Famalicão’s demands to negotiate the player. The Minho side want to receive between €20 million and €25 million, while also securing a percentage of any future sale.

Gustavo Sá’s possible arrival is, however, tied to Trincão’s future. The Portugal international continues to attract interest in the market, with Milan, now coached by Ruben Amorim, among the clubs keeping an eye on the winger’s situation. Sporting are willing to negotiate the player for a fee close to €50 million, even though his release clause is set at €60 million.

Jorge Mendes could play an important role in both processes, as he represents both Francisco Trincão and Gustavo Sá. The agent is still assessing the offers coming in for the Lions’ ‘number 17’ and could help facilitate a potential deal between the parties.

While waiting for developments in the market, Sporting begin preparations for the new season this Wednesday, while Rodrigo Zalazar will return later after taking part in the World Cup with Uruguay.
