Official: Trincão extends Sporting deal, release clause causes stir | OneFootball

Sporting announced this Wednesday, March 4, the contract renewal with Francisco Trincão. The 'number 17' extended his commitment to the Lions for three more seasons, now being tied to the Alvalade Club until June 2030.

In the new agreement, the 26-year-old Portuguese international maintains the release clause set at 60 million euros. Signed in 2022 from Barcelona, initially on loan, Trincão is currently in his fourth season at Alvalade and continues to establish himself as one of the key players in the lineup led by Rui Borges, a status he already held under the management of Ruben Amorim. The creative player was, in fact, one of the important elements in the conquest of the Lions' back-to-back championship.

The renewal also includes a significant salary revision. The player will now be part of the team's salary cap, with earnings that could approach three million euros net per season, including prizes and bonuses for objectives.

Francisco Trincão has already spoken to Sporting's media after the new contract and expressed his happiness: "It's a great feeling. It was something that had been discussed for some time and now it has come to fruition. I am very happy to continue with the Lion on my chest," he began by saying.

"The fans, the Stadium, the Club, the love I had. That continues and it's the same thing that makes me stay at Sporting." Regarding the best moments, Trincão did not hesitate: "Being a Champion and going to Marquês is always a unique experience. I think the second time was even better than the first," he considered.

About the Champions League, the Portuguese international spoke about the Lions' path: "We are happy. By passing in the top eight, we saved two games, which was good. We now had a difficult draw, but we are motivated to continue in the competition."
