The media agent Jorge Mendes has seized the opportunity presented by Sergio Conceição’s recent appointment as AC Milan’s head coach to propose another of his clients, the Portuguese winger Francisco Trincão.
Valued at approximately €25 million, Trincão has been a standout performer. Just yesterday morning, AC Milan completed the much-anticipated overhaul of their coaching staff, confirming the dismissal of Paulo Fonseca and the hiring of his fellow countryman, Sergio Conceição, to lead the first team.
The 50-year-old coach’s arrival at San Siro is largely attributed to the efforts of his agent, Jorge Mendes, who is also looking to leverage this transition to secure new deals with the club. According to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, Mendes has promptly put forward the name of another of his clients, the 25-year-old winger Francisco Trincão.
Trincão has been making headlines with Sporting de Portugal, tallying six goals and 11 assists in 27 appearances this season.
His remarkable performances have attracted the attention of several top European clubs, and while Milan fans are open to the idea of signing him, they are clear that any move will depend on generating funds and creating space by offloading players like Noah Okafor or Samu Chukwueze.
AC Milan eyes Trincão, Reyna boost with Jorge Mendes’ help
Jorge Mendes is certainly aware of the financial limitations that AC Milan is facing. However, he appears optimistic that the club can make the necessary changes to bring Trincão on board.
The winger, with a valuation of around €25 million, presents an exciting opportunity for the Rossoneri, considering his age and potential for development.
AC Milan is eyeing more than just Trincão as they look to strengthen their attacking options. American forward Giovanni Reyna has caught the attention of the board, who appreciate his youth and the fact that he plays a less prominent role at Borussia Dortmund, making a transfer more feasible.
Reyna’s versatility and potential have made him a sought-after target for various clubs, and Milan is eager to consider the possibility of signing him for San Siro.
With the January transfer window on the horizon, fans of AC Milan are keenly anticipating how the club will approach these potential acquisitions.
The appointment of Sergio Conceição as the new head coach signals a fresh start for the team, and with Jorge Mendes’ influence, there is optimism that the Rossoneri can enhance their squad and mount a strong challenge in the latter part of the season.
