Manchester clubs set to battle for Sporting Lisbon star

Trincao, currently shining at Sporting Lisbon, has regained his form after a challenging stint in England. His impressive performances in Portugal have caught the eye of both Premier League clubs, with Ruben Amorim, who brought him to Lisbon, likely to consider his former players as potential transfer targets.

However, the situation could become complicated as sporting director Hugo Viana is set to join the Etihad hierarchy.

The director's connections to Sporting Lisbon might encourage the Sky Blues to pursue a move for the winger, leading to a potential rivalry between the two Manchester clubs.

Nonetheless, Sporting Lisbon are keen to keep the talented player and are preparing to offer him a new contract. Despite growing interest from both Manchester sides, the Portuguese remain determined to retain him for the foreseeable future.
