Liverpool ready to pay £60m clause for Sporting star with 205 games | OneFootball

Liverpool’s interest in Francisco Trincão has gained new momentum in recent weeks. The Portuguese international recently renewed his contract with the Lions until 2030, but he still has a release clause set at €60 million, a figure that does not rule out a departure.

According to the outlet 'CaughtOffside', the Reds have already taken "concrete steps" to secure the Portuguese international’s services and are willing to pay the amount in question, but they are not alone in the race, as Chelsea are also closely monitoring the 26-year-old’s performances.

The player has been one of the standout figures in Rui Borges’ squad, also standing out for his consistency in a season marked by several injuries in the Sporting squad, and is in fact the most-used player in the team.

In England, the interest is even more relevant due to Mohamed Salah’s possible departure from Liverpool, opening the door to an attacking reshuffle at Anfield. Arne Slot is already looking for alternatives to the Egyptian forward on the market.

This season, playing for Sporting, Francisco Trincão – valued at €35 million – has made 51 appearances: 32 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 11 in the Champions League, six in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. Across 4,302 minutes played, the forward has scored 12 goals and provided 15 assists.
