Al-Ahli aims to secure Francisco Trincao from Sporting CP, but faces stiff competition from Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City. The 26-year-old attacking midfielder is currently evaluating his options, eager to see if a solid offer emerges from the Premier League.

Despite Al-Ahli's willingness to pay €50 million, Trincao has not yet committed to a decision regarding his future. Tottenham is closely monitoring his situation, viewing him as a potential rival for Mohammed Kudus. They believe his versatility—capable of playing both on the right and as a central attacking midfielder—will enhance their offensive capabilities. Last season, Trincao tallied 31 goal contributions and has previously played in England with Wolves, where he struggled but has since shown significant improvement. He may feel he has unfinished business in the Premier League, making a move to Tottenham an attractive proposition.

Manchester City is also in the mix, with new manager Enzo Maresca expressing admiration for Trincao. Both clubs possess the financial means to meet the €50 million asking price, but it remains uncertain if they will make formal offers in the upcoming weeks. With both teams needing more quality in attack, Trincao could make a substantial impact, especially as he reaches the peak of his career. A switch to the Premier League could be the ideal next step for him.
