Hugo Viana could transform Sporting star's life and take him to Man City | OneFootball

Manchester City, led by Hugo Viana, continues to rate Francisco Trincão highly for this summer transfer window and could move for the Sporting winger. The citizens’ current sporting director knows the Portuguese international well from their time at Alvalade and, together with coach Enzo Maresca, appreciates the left-footer’s qualities, and he remains one of the options on the table.

Despite the interest from the English side, the player also has a concrete offer from Al Ahli. The Saudi club is willing to pay around €50 million to Sporting, an amount that matches the demands of Sporting’s SAD, but the player still prefers the possibility of remaining in European football.

In addition to City, Tottenham are also closely monitoring the Portuguese international’s situation. The London club sees Trincão as a solution to strengthen the attack, both on the right wing and in more central areas, at a time when it is looking to improve the quality of its attacking options.

In Manchester City’s case, any potential move depends on developments in the transfer market, namely Savinho’s departure. Only after resolving that situation are the English club’s decision-makers expected to decide whether to formally move for the No. 17, according to the newspaper 'Record'.

With a contract valid until 2030 and a €60 million release clause, Francisco Trincão remains one of the most valuable pieces in Sporting’s squad. Sporting are willing to negotiate the winger’s sale, but only for a fee close to €50 million.
