Barça could be about to receive an unexpected shower of millions, thanks to the impressive season of one of its former players. Club president Joan Laporta is seeing how one of his past decisions could bring significant income for Barça's coffers. They would arrive at a crucial time for the finances of the club. The surprise comes from a player who, after being loaned and subsequently sold to Sporting, has established himself as one of the revolutionary players of the season in the Portuguese league.
Trincão's Performance Boosts His Market Value
Francisco Trincao arrived at Barça as one of the most promising prospects in Portuguese soccer. Now his future seems to be taking an unexpected turn. Despite not being able to establish himself in the Barça first team during his brief stay, his evolution at Sporting has been impressive. So far this season, Trincão has obtained 4 goals and 11 assists. Such figures have caught the attention of clubs such as Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
Both teams are keeping a close eye on the Portuguese winger. The the situation could mean a significant influx of money for Barça. Let us Remember that the Catalonian club has a buyback option of 20 million euros and has reserved 50% of a future sale of Francisco Trincão. If the interested teams decide to activate this clause, Barça would benefit considerably from a sale that could exceed 30 million euros.
Joan Laporta Takes Advantage of an Unexpected Boost
In his quest to improve the club's finances, Joan Laporta has managed to turn a seemingly unpopular decision into a source of income. When Barça decided to loan Trincão to Sporting in summer 2022, it seemed like a step backwards in the footballer's career. However, what seemed like a loss for Barça could turn out to be a stroke of luck.
This move could represent a new economic boost for Barça at a time when financial resources are limited. With Europe's biggest clubs interested in Trincão, the chances of the player being sold for a high fee are within reach. If the sale finally goes through, Barça could earn a significant amount that will help ease financial tensions.
