Barcelona could pick up a windfall this summer if Sporting Lisbon chooses to sell Francisco Trincao for the 2025/26 season.
The Portugal International is impressed by the two seasons since he came to the club with a permanent transfer, including a competition title profit in 2024.
His stock continues to rise, with his contract until 2026, but has been booked without progress in an extension in the Portuguese capital.
Sporting Lisbon has made several attempts in recent months to extend his contract and this summer is their last chance to obtain transfer costs.
The most important exit link connects Trincao with Manchester, and former boss Ruben Amorim at United, or former sports director Hugo Viana in City.
City has a lead in the race, according to reports from Local Outlet a Bola, as part of Pep Guardiola Ambitious Squad Rebuild in the Etihad Stadium in 2025.
Trincao's move to Lisbon from Barcelona came between the two clubs, as part of a deal of € 7 million, but with Barcelona with a 50% clause on a potential exit.
Sporty Lisbon is expected to sell at least one of their star names in the coming months with enormous attention also at Spits Viktor Gyokeres of the Premier League.
City and United are also interested in the Sweden International, but sporting Lisbon is expected to consider more than £ 100 million to consider a sale, because of his incredible target scoring form since the landing in the Estádio Jose Alvalade in July 2023.
Barcelona will not play an active role in the conversations between clubs that are interested in the 25-year-old, but they will look with interest.
In recent years, La Blaugrana has received various financial injections of comparable deals as part of a long -term strategy to guarantee future income on players sold.
