Francisco Trincão, born on 29 December 1999 (age 26), is a Portuguese left winger now with Al-Ahli Saudi. His current market value is around £30m, according to Transfermarkt.
The early loan football helped give his career a clearer shape, but Sporting CP is where the substance lies. His 2022–23 season there was his most productive in the league, with 10 goals in 34 appearances, and it set the tone for a spell that became far more than a passing stop.
Across four league seasons with Sporting, Trincão made 133 appearances and scored 35 goals. That is the body of work that defines him: not a brief flourish, not a prospect’s promise, but a sustained first-team contribution at a demanding club.
At Al-Ahli Saudi in 2026–27, he has made five appearances in all competitions, scoring twice, with four of those games coming in the Pro League and one in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. He has also been involved with Portugal this season, making one World Cup appearance and four in European qualifying.
Trincão’s career has moved from development loans into a long, productive Sporting spell and then on to Saudi Arabia. The Sporting years remain the central chapter.
