Newcastle United looking at Francisco Trincao as part of their summer transfer plans

 

Newcastle United is reportedly interested in signing Francisco Trincao from Sporting Lisbon, but will have to pay a whopping €80m (£70m) if they are to secure the 23-year-old winger’s services. Trincao is currently on loan at Sporting Lisbon from FC Barcelona, but will sign permanently for the Portuguese side at the end of the season.

Trincao had previously played for Premier League side Wolves, but failed to impress and was sent back to Barcelona. However, he has found success back in Portugal, scoring 12 goals and providing three assists in all competitions, including a hat-trick last weekend.

Newcastle is said to be in the market for a new winger this summer, and Trincao is on their radar. However, Sporting Lisbon has already declared the winger unavailable for sale, and the only way Newcastle can acquire him is by activating his £70m release clause.

While Newcastle is looking to spend big this summer, it may be wise for the club to consider other options. Trincao may have found success in Portugal, but his disappointing stint at Wolves should be a cause for concern for the Magpies.

Rather than focusing solely on Trincao, Newcastle may want to look for players who have already proven themselves in the Premier League or have the potential to do so. This could be a more attractive prospect for the supporters and could save the club from making a costly mistake.

Furthermore, given Sporting Lisbon’s determination to keep Trincao, it may be best for Newcastle to explore other options instead of getting into a bidding war for the winger. With a hefty price tag and his lack of success in the Premier League, Trincao may not be the ideal fit for Newcastle’s needs.

In conclusion, while Trincao has done well for Sporting Lisbon, Newcastle should be wary of his previous stint at Wolves and the high price tag attached to him. The club may want to consider other options that have a proven track record in the Premier League or have the potential to succeed in the English top-flight.
