Al Ahli want more than just Trincão! Saudis eye another Sporting regular | OneFootball

Francisco Trincão is getting ever closer to swapping Sporting for Al Ahli, but the connection between the Lions and the Saudi club may not stop there. Pedro Gonçalves remains a highly regarded name in Saudi Arabia and could follow the same path in the coming weeks.

Although the Saudi club’s current focus is entirely on Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves is still very highly rated by Al Ahli’s decision-makers, according to newspaper O Jogo. No offer has yet been made to Sporting, but the 'number 8' is still seen as a possible signing for this summer transfer window.

Even if Al Ahli do not move for the Portugal international, the future of Pote could still lie in Saudi Arabia. Al Nassr, the club Cristiano Ronaldo plays for, are also closely monitoring the player’s situation and could come forward with an offer in the coming weeks.

Trincão and Pedro Gonçalves shared Sporting’s attack for several seasons and played leading roles in the Lions’ recent triumphs. Now, after years of making the difference at Alvalade, the two Portugal internationals could cross paths again, this time in Saudi football, if the transfer market confirms the expectations surrounding both of their futures.
