In the competition for Sporting CP winger Francisco Trincao, Arsenal is prepared to challenge Manchester United. Sporting CP, the Portuguese player has grown into a talented winger. This campaign, he has recorded 15 assists and 9 goals.
The Premier League has taken notice of his performance. United boss Ruben Amorim wants to see his former star again. However, the Gunners, who are looking for a good backup for Bukayo Saka, are expected to present fierce competition for the right-sided winger.
The contract of the attacker has not been extended by Sporting CP past June 2026. This summer, he might fetch around £30 million. Barcelona allegedly has a buy-back clause at their disposal, but given their current financial difficulties, they might decide not to activate the option.
It’s highly probable that Trincao will join the Premier League this summer. At the Red Devils, he might like to see Amorim again. With Champions League football, Arsenal might also be an alluring choice.
Arsenal to compete with top PL clubs for Francisco Trincao
Numerous Premier League teams are keen to make a move in the summer as Trincao approaches the last year of his contract with the Portuguese powerhouse. The Manchester Clubs are still in the running, and the English foursome is looking for more attackers. Arsenal and Liverpool have joined them.
Arsenal is keen to expand their front line because Mikel Arteta values a player who can play a variety of positions on the field. The ex-Amorim charge can be used in any forward position, so Trincao undoubtedly has that, which will keep the Gunners interested in the football player.
Manchester United has observed Trincao’s play, and there is evidence that Amorim was the one who pushed for the move. The person who brought Trincao to Sporting CP was Hugo Viana, who was named the new sporting director of Manchester City. The Blues are reportedly the favorites to sign the attacker, although this pursuit may become more difficult given Arsenal and Liverpool’s interest.
