Francisco Trincão Transfer from Sporting CP to Manchester City
Ruben Amorim has identified Francisco Trincao as a key target for Manchester United, but Manchester City is also interested in a deal. Sporting Lisbon hopes to make €40 million from Trincao's sale. Sporting Lisbon may also renew Trincao's contract to raise his release clause, as they are not willing to lose him cheaply. Amorim's previous management of Trincao at Braga may aid negotiations with Manchester United.
Manchester City are interested in bringing Francisco Trincao back to the Premier League, following his underwhelming spell at Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, Manchester United hold a key advantage in the race for his signature.
Team Talk reports on Manchester City's interest in signing Francisco Trincao amidst competition from Manchester United.
Manchester City is reportedly interested in Francisco Trincão, who plays for Sporting. His recent performances have sparked interest from clubs in England, including City. Sporting is eager to renew his contract, but the possibility of a transfer derby between Manchester City and Manchester United has been mentioned for the upcoming summer transfer window. Trincão's transfer fee is expected to be substantial due to existing contractual clauses with Barcelona.
Trincão, currently playing for Sporting, is attracting significant attention from Manchester City. Sporting is accelerating the process of renewing his contract, which is valid until June 2027, to ward off interest. The renewal includes a potential captaincy role. Hugo Viana, now at City, was instrumental in Trincão's rise at Sporting.
Portuguese sources link Sporting forward Trincão with a summer move to Manchester City. The former Barcelona player (25) is excelling in the Portuguese league and is open to moving to England. His contract includes an 80 million release clause that expires in 2027. Barcelona can activate a buy-back clause for 25 million and will receive 50% of the transfer fee if he moves to another club. Reported by 'Sky Sports'.
Manchester City are expressing interest in acquiring Francisco Trincao. It is believed that Hugo Viana, who is set to take on the role of City's new sporting director, hopes to bring the 25-year-old to the Etihad Stadium. Trincao faces a decision later this year about whether to join his former Sporting executives. Although Sporting has recently engaged in discussions with Trincao about a potential new contract, this is likely a tactic to preserve his transfer value amidst interest from major clubs, including City and Manchester United. Trincao's outstanding performance this season, with nine goals and 13 assists in 40 matches, has attracted the attention of both Manchester clubs. City is expected to face competition from United, where former Sporting manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly keen on a reunion with Trincao.
