Sporting have decided who to buy with Francisco Trincão money | OneFootball

Francisco Trincão has been transferred to Al Ahli, and the Lions already know what they are going to do with the money. Sporting received 45 million dollars from the sale of the Portuguese international, around 39.3 million euros, plus 5 million dollars, approximately 4.4 million, subject to objectives being met.

According to the statement sent to the CMVM, the Lions are exempt from paying the solidarity mechanism, valued at around 2 million euros. Even so, the green-and-white SAD will have to cover 10% of the intermediary fees, corresponding to 4 million euros, related to agent Jorge Mendes.

With the departure of the Portuguese international, Sporting’s priority is now to sign a player with similar characteristics. Rui Borges wants a reinforcement capable of playing on the wing, but also in more central areas, namely in the number 10 role.

Trincão’s transfer is part of the process of renewing the Lions’ squad, following the departures of Geovany Quenda, Hidemasa Morita and Morten Hjulmand. Pedro Gonçalves is also expected to leave Alvalade, and Al Diriyah, managed by Bruno Lage, appears to be the most likely destination.

Trincão signed a contract valid for four seasons and will earn between 11 and 12 million euros net per year, more than four times the salary he received at Sporting. In four seasons wearing the Lions’ shirt, he won two league titles and one Portuguese Cup, leaving just five months after renewing until 2030.
