Benfica interested in loan for Trincao next season

Benfica have been linked with a summer loan move for former Braga winger Francisco Trincao who is currently on loan in England with Wolverhampton but the club is not alone in their pursuit of the 22 year old as cross town rivals Sporting are also said to be interested in Trincao as well according to reports from Portugal.

Trincao has had a disappointing campaign with Wolves this season and the hope by both Lisbon clubs is that Wolverhampton do not activate their option to buy Trincao for £25M at seasons end and that the winger is returned back to Barcelona. Trincao last played in Portugal for Braga during the 2019/20 season before joining the Spanish giants in the summer of 2020.

Benfica's interest in Trincao could coincide with the potential departure of current winger Rafa Silva who is eager to make a move abroad this summer. Trincao's current bench boss at Wolves Bruno Lage is a big fan of his former pupil, calling him a fantastic player and extraordinary person.
