Barcelona are expected to enhance their roster in the forthcoming summer transfer window after making no additions during January.
The Catalan club are explicitly looking to sign a left winger and full-back to improve their attacking and defensive depth. However, the Catalans must raise a large sum of money to make these desired modifications.
With this in mind, Barcelona are now looking at players who could bring in money from their sales, such as last week’s Vitor Roque deal with Palmeiras and Nico’s move to Manchester City.
This time, the club is looking at Francisco Trincão, who is currently having a successful season at Sporting CP and is rumored to be a potential transfer target this summer.
PL Clubs Target Francisco Trincão
According to Mundo Deportivo, Trincão’s spectacular play has brought him back into the spotlight, prompting interest from two Premier League clubs.
According to A Bola, Manchester United’s head coach, Rúbén Amorim, and Manchester City’s Sporting Director, Hugo Viana, are keeping a close eye on the Portuguese international.
Barcelona see his revival as a lucrative opportunity, thanks to a well-negotiated sell-on clause from his 2023 exit.
As part of his move to Sporting, the Blaugrana kept a 50% sell-on clause for any future profits. With Trincão’s release clause set at €80 million and his contract extending until 2026, a big-money trade might earn Barcelona a significant sum without lifting a finger.
The 25-year-old Portuguese winger has 9 goals and 13 assists in 40 appearances this season, a sharp contrast to his difficulties at Barcelona.
