Trincão stalls Al Ahli move as City and Spurs show interest

Jul 13, 2026

Manchester City and Tottenham are both tracking Sporting winger Trincão, and it is enough to make him hesitate on a deal with Saudi side Al Ahli (1). Al Ahli already have an agreement in place with Sporting, but the 26-year-old is stalling as City and Spurs circle. No formal bid from either Premier League club yet, but the interest alone has put the Saudi move on ice. For a City squad in transition under Enzo Maresca, Trincão offers a profile the flanks currently lack: direct, left-footed, and entering his prime.
