FC Barcelona continues to closely monitor the future of Francisco Trincao, current player of Sporting de Portugal, as they have secured 50% of the capital gains from any future sale. The Portuguese winger is having a brilliant season, scoring 9 goals and providing 13 assists, attracting interest from major clubs, especially in the Premier League.
Barcelona sold Trincao to Sporting in 2022 for 7 million euros after a loan period, but retained the option to buy him back for 25 million until 2026, along with a percentage of any future sale. Currently, the Lisbon club is working on his renewal, although his current contract runs until 2027 with a release clause of 80 million euros.
Trincao's Future lies in the Premier League
The forward's performance has not gone unnoticed in England. As reported by MundoDeportivo, both Manchester United and Manchester City have taken note of his displays and are considering making a move in the upcoming transfer window. The presence of Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford's helm and Hugo Viana's influence in City's sporting direction have fostered this interest, given their familiarity with the player from their time in Portugal.
Should Sporting de Portugal accept a substantial offer, Barcelona could receive a significant income without needing to take action. The Catalan club already invested 31 million euros in his signing in 2020, but his performance at Camp Nou fell short of expectations, leading to a loan spell at Wolverhampton before his return to his home country. Now, his outstanding form in Lisbon could result in a lucrative sale from which Barça would gain a substantial amount.
