Trincão a top priority for Sporting, bonus in the mix | OneFootball

Sporting continues to prioritize the contract renewal of Francisco Trincão, as they even see the Portuguese international as a successor to Morten Hjulmand concerning the captain's armband. The player is said to have this promise in the proposal.

This new position of the 'number 17' in the Alvalade Club's locker room depends on his contract renewal. Sporting is currently negotiating his new deal, but these negotiations have recently hit a snag regarding the planned salary increase for the forward.

Nevertheless, the newspaper A Bola reveals that this impasse is seen as perfectly attainable by both parties, and it is still possible that Trincão will become the new owner of the 'number 10' jersey for the lions - which currently belongs to Geny Catamo. The Portuguese international seems completely at ease with the negotiation talks, which foresee him signing a contract with Sporting until 2030.

Regarding Morten Hjulmand, the reality is that the Sporting management has an agreement to facilitate the player's departure at the end of the season. Considering this, Sporting needs a new captain and wants this change in the locker room to be as harmonious as possible.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Francisco Trincão - valued at 35 million euros - has played 19 matches. The Portuguese international forward has started in almost all official games. So far, he has recorded eight goals and three assists in his personal tally.
