So, what now? Trincão’s Sporting contract sparks row among the big clubs | OneFootball

Negotiations between Sporting and Francisco Trincão, aimed at renewing the Portuguese international’s contract, are currently on hold. The forward’s case is a priority for the Lions, but so far, there has been no progress, and the matter remains on standby.

It was said to be finalized and the forward was only waiting for official confirmation. However, the newspaper A Bola reports that the process “has slowed down in recent days.”

The same source assures that Sporting’s objective is clear: to add three more years to Trincão’s contract—which currently ends in 2027—with the number 17 already promised the captain’s armband in the near future, following the possible departure of Morten Hjulmand.

The release clause is set at 80 million euros, but could be negotiated up to 100M. The salary increase will be discussed, as Trincão is already one of the highest-paid players in Rui Borges’ squad, earning around 2 million euros per year.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Francisco Trincão—valued at 35 million euros—has played eight matches. At the start of this season, the Portuguese international forward started in every official game, already recording five goals and three assists.
