Deal done! Trincão is a step away from leaving Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting are very close to completing another multi-million sale in this summer transfer window. After making Morten Hjulmand’s departure to Atlético Madrid official, the Lions are now close to reaching an agreement with Al Ahli for the transfer of Francisco Trincão.

According to journalist Santi Aouna, a transfer market specialist, the deal is in its final stages and is expected to be concluded for €45 million. The Portugal international is preparing to travel to Saudi Arabia, where he will replace Riyad Mahrez in the Saudi club’s attack.

In addition to the fee set to be paid to Sporting, Trincão will have a four-season contract waiting for him and an annual salary of around €11 million. Before moving for the Sporting winger, Al Ahli also tried to sign Mason Greenwood from Marseille, but had their offer rejected and decided to focus all their efforts on the green-and-whites’ ‘number 17’.

Only the final details between the two clubs remain to be settled before Sporting authorise the player’s trip to undergo a medical and sign his contract. If the deal goes through, Rui Borges will lose one of the squad’s key figures just a few days after Hjulmand’s departure.
