by

Barcelona have confirmed that they have secured the services of Trincao, who will join from SC Braga when the summer transfer window opens.

Barcelona have made an official statement to confirm that they have reached an agreement with SC Braga for the transfer of Francisco Trincao. The Portuguese youngster will join the reigning La Liga champions when the summer transfer window opens in July, with Braga entitled to receive €31 million in his exchange.

Trincao has been rated quite highly in Portugal for quite some time, having impressed across age levels for several years. The 20-year-old broke into the Braga first-team setup last season, but has enjoyed a proper breakthrough campaign this term.

So far this season, Trincao has made 22 appearances across all competitions, with a return of 3 goals and 6 assists to boot. His exploits have seen him draw comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo, with Barcelona following his progress over the course of this season.
