Sporting has already defined 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 experiencing intense days and continue to try to secure the biggest crown jewels at Alvalade.
The two players have established themselves as very important in 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 valued players under the orders of 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 pass 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 are outlined and accepted by both parties. The new agreement is valid until 2030, and the player will see his release clause increase from 60 to 80 million euros, due to his appreciation over the last two seasons - the negotiations were even supposed to be concluded in August, but the market delayed this scenario.
More complicated is the renewal of Pote, as our newspaper has already reported in Exclusivo Leonino. Although it is not entirely ruled out, the conversations 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 to reach a successful conclusion.
