Borussia Dortmund, which is described as a German giant set to finish second in the Bundesliga, is closely observing the performances of Sporting CP's Francisco Trincão, a 26-year-old Portuguese forward. Dortmund is not the only club interested; Arab clubs are also monitoring the player. The English press has linked Trincão with a move to Liverpool.
Separately, Trincão is Sporting's most used player this season and has equaled his best goal-scoring campaign. The administration for Sporting would prefer to keep Trincão but is aware of the market interest and would not consider a sale for less than €50 million. His contract was recently renewed until 2030 and contains a €60 million release clause. Trincão has 17 caps and 3 goals for Portugal. He joined Sporting permanently from Barcelona in July 2023 for a fee of €7 million. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €35.00m.
