Both sides remain optimistic and expect to fully finalize the deal within the next 24–48 hours.
If negotiations are successful, the 26-year-old will become Al-Ahli's latest marquee signing of the summer transfer window.
It's worth noting that Trincão's contract with Sporting runs until the summer of 2030, and Transfermarkt values the Portuguese winger at €40 million. In the 2025/26 season, he scored 7 goals and provided 11 assists in the Portuguese league.
