Es scheint sich doch noch zu geben. Die Vereinstreue!
Flügel-Star Francisco Trincao (25) will nach übereinstimmenden Medienberichten aus Portugal und England trotz lukrativer Angebote seinen Vertrag bei Sporting Lissabon erfüllen.
Beim portugiesischen Meister hat der Nationalspieler (11 Länderspiele) noch einen Vertrag bis 2027. Und Treue wird belohnt: Sein Bekenntnis zum Klub wird mit einer noch längeren Laufzeit sowie einer Gehaltserhöhung versüßt.
[–>Trincao hat eine Mega-Saison hinter sich, auch wenn er in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung im Schatten von Superstürmer Viktor Gyökeres stand. Ihm gelangen neun Tore und 15 Vorlagen. Eine starke Bilanz.
Die ist auch Manchester City und Manchester United nicht verborgen geblieben. Sein Ex-Trainer Ruben Amorim hätte ihn gerne ins Old Trafford gelotst. Bei City-Coach Pep Guardiola hatte er sich beim 4:1-Erfolg in der Champions League über den entthronten englischen Meister quasi direkt für einen Transfer beworben.
Korb von Ex-Barça-Flop für City: Lissabon statt Manchester!
Für Pep war Trincao ein absoluter Wunschspieler für den Neuaufbau bei City. Vier Spieler haben die „Skyblues“ bereits verpflichtet. Darunter auch der französische Nationalspieler Rayan Cherki (21/Lyon) und Linksverteidiger Rayan Ait-Nouri (24/Wolverhampton).
Für Trincao wurde sein Wechsel zu Sporting zum Wendepunkt in seiner Karriere. Nachdem ihm 2019/20 bei Braga der Durchbruch gelungen war, wechselte er für über 30 Mio. Euro zum FC Barcelona – ein teures Missverständnis.
Nach nur einer Saison folgte zunächst eine Leihe nach England zu den Wolverhampton Wanderers, bevor es ein Jahr später zu Sporting ging. Dort gehört er seitdem zu den unumstrittenen Stammkräften.
Der Traditionsverein nahm ihn nach einem Jahr für nur noch sieben Mio. Euro fest unter Vertrag – ein Schnäppchen. Sein Marktwert ist seitdem wieder auf 35. Mio Euro gestiegen.
Neben Trincao soll auch Pedro Goncalves (26) Sporting die Treue geschworen haben. An dem Linksaußen soll jüngst Bayer Leverkusen Interesse gehabt haben.

Senegalské basketbalistky zrušily přípravu v USA kvůli zamítnutým vízům
Senegalská basketbalová federace v prohlášení oznámila, že zamítnuto bylo pět žádostí o víza pro hráčky a sedm pro funkcionáře. „Následně jsem instruoval ministerstvo sportu, aby desetidenní tréninkový kemp plánovaný původně do Spojených států prostě zrušilo,“ uvedl Sonko.Odmítnutí udělení víz přišlo v době, kdy administrativa amerického prezidenta Donalda Trumpa tlačí na některé země, aby zlepšily prověřování svých turistů, jinak jejich občanům hrozí zákaz vstupu do USA. Agentura AP uvedla, že Senegal na tomto seznamu zemí není a není jasné, proč byla víza zamítnuta.Basketbalistky Senegalu patří k nejlepším africkým týmům, na čtyřech z posledních pěti kontinentálních šampionátů hrály finále. Vítěz letošního AfroBasketu, jenž se bude hrát na přelomu července a srpna v Pobřeží slonoviny, si zajistí účast na mistrovství světa v Berlíně v roce 2026.
