OFFICIAL: Trincao moves to Sporting CP on loan

Yet another player leaves Barcelona. One of those to be discarded by Xavi Hernandez has now left the Catalan giants. It is Francisco Trincao, who will continue his career in Portugal. 

The footballer did not figure in the plans of the first team coach and that was despite the fact he was seen as a young star for the 2020-21 season. However, the winger did not figure as planned and he left on loan at Wolves after playing 42 games as a starter.

For the new 2022-23 season, Trincao is still without a place in the squad so Barcelona gave him permission to travel to Portugal and sign for Sporting. The Catalans and the Portuguese side reached an agreement for the loaning out of the winger until 30th June 2023. 

In addition, Sporting Clube de Portugal have the option to buy Trincao at the end of the loan deal. 

"Trincao joined Barça from SC Braga in the summer of 2020. After making his debut against Ferencvaros in the Champions League, he went on to appear in 42 games in his first year, scoring three goals and giving two assists in the Copa del Rey winning season," Barcelona say in their statement.
