Varandas to shield Sporting star with €100 million release clause | OneFootball

Francisco Trincão’s release clause will be raised to 100 million euros. Frederico Varandas has been negotiating a contract extension of a further three years for the ‘number 17’—until 2030—who is one of Sporting’s most important players.

According to information reported by the newspaper O Jogo, “there is an agreement in principle” between Sporting and Trincão, although negotiations have not yet concluded. In August, the Lions bought the 50% of the player’s rights held by Barcelona, already with this scenario in mind.

Sporting currently holds 100% of the economic rights of the Portugal international, who cost a total of 21 million euros—3M for the loan, 7M for 50%, and 11M for the remaining 50%—under Frederico Varandas, the Greens and Whites’ president.

In Spain, the newspaper Sport claims that after renewing with Sporting, Francisco Trincão will have a significant increase in his release clause. Currently set at 80 million euros, the amount will jump to 100M, shielding the winger from potential suitors.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Francisco Trincão—valued at 35 million euros—has made 11 appearances. At the start of this season, the Portugal international forward started every official match, already recording five goals and three assists.
