Sporting have taken an important step toward Francisco Trincão’s departure. The club’s SAD has already accepted the offer submitted by Al Ahli, worth around €45 million including a fixed fee and variables, with the transfer now depending on the player’s decision.
Trincão has not yet given a definitive answer and is still waiting for possible approaches from English clubs.
The Premier League remains the preferred destination for the 26-year-old winger, who wants to return to English football after his spell at Wolverhampton. Even so, Al Ahli’s multimillion-euro offer remains on the table and could weigh on the final decision.
At this stage, Francisco Trincão is on holiday after representing Portugal at the World Cup. The player is under contract with Sporting until June 2030 and is protected by a release clause set at €60 million.
After accepting Al Ahli’s offer, Sporting are now waiting for the decision of the 'number 17'. If the player gives the green light to the move, the Lions will complete one of the biggest sales of the summer transfer window and lose one of the key figures in Rui Borges’ squad.
