Hugo Viana could change Sporting star’s life, take him to Man City | OneFootball

Manchester City, led by Hugo Viana, continue to hold Francisco Trincão in high regard 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, likes the left-footer’s characteristics, and he remains one of the options on the table.

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

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

In Manchester City’s case, any potential move depends on transfer market activity, 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 number 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 players in Sporting’s squad.
