Arsenal in Talks to Sign Francisco Trincao with Manchester United Also Interested
Arsenal have opened talks to sign Francisco Trincao from Sporting CP, as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season. According to reports from Portugal, the Gunners are among three Premier League clubs showing strong interest in the 25-year-old winger, who is also on Manchester United’s radar.
Trincao has been a key target for United, especially with manager Ruben Amorim having previously worked with him at both Braga and Sporting. Arsenal have reportedly kept a close eye on the Portuguese international this season, scouting him regularly during his games.
The winger, who previously had a loan stint with Wolves in the Premier League during the 2021–22 season, still has two years left on his contract with Sporting. Trincao joined Sporting permanently from Barcelona in 2023, but the Spanish club included a €25 million buyback clause that expires next year and also retained 50 percent of any future sale.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
