Francisco Trincão

Recent reports from 2025 and early 2026 mention a current release clause of €80 million, with Sporting CP proposing an increase to €100 million in stalled contract talks. Throughout 2025, his valuation in rumours varied significantly; Sporting reportedly valued him at €40 million, while a release clause was also cited at €60 million. Reports linked to Manchester United mentioned potential fees from a £30 million (~€35.5 million) offer up to a £70 million (~€83 million) expectation, with other reports citing the €80 million release clause. A Barcelona buy-back clause of €20-€25 million was also noted as expiring in 2026. His permanent transfer to Sporting from Barcelona was completed in July 2023 for €7 million.

Our valuation for Francisco Trincão is driven by consistent reports of strong interest from multiple Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal. The range is anchored at the low end by Sporting CP's reported valuation of €40 million and at the high end by a frequently mentioned release clause of €60 million. We estimate a final fee will be negotiated above Sporting's initial asking price due to competition and the significant complication of Barcelona's 50% sell-on clause, which incentivizes Sporting to hold out for a higher fee.
