Recently, Francisco Trincao became the standout player for the Portuguese national team, netting two goals in the Nations League quarter-final second leg against Denmark. Previously, the first encounter at Parken ended 1-0 in favor of Brian Riemer’s squad. However, the thrilling encounter at Estadio Jose Alvalade saw extra time being required, where Roberto Martinez’s team secured a convincing 5:2 victory, advancing further in the competition.
The 25-year-old winger was instrumental in this success, scoring twice—first to level the game and extend it into extra minutes and then to give his national team the upper hand. Lately, Trincao has been impressive not only for his country but also at the club level. This season, the right winger for Sporting Lisbon has made 43 appearances, scored 9 goals, and provided an impressive 15 assists.
Francisco Trincao’s stellar performances haven’t gone unnoticed, with Premier League giants Manchester City and Manchester United keeping a close watch on him for a while. According to the latest reports by Ekrem Konur, another English club, Newcastle United, has also joined the race to sign the Portuguese star.
The Magpies are poised to outmaneuver the Citizens and the Red Devils in the race to secure the signature of the former Barcelona player.
