Barcelona could stand in line this summer for an elevated money boost as a sporty CP Francisco Trincao sells for the 2025/26 season.
Although he has difficulty making an impact in his time in Catalonia, the Portugal International has impressed for two seasons in Lisbon since he has made a permanent transfer, including a competition title win in 2024.
This has attracted transfer of transfer from further road, with its current contract until 2026, but no fixed progress has been made in an extension in Portuguese capital.
Sporting CP has set out their position to keep it through several attempts to extend his contract in recent months, but this summer is their last chance to obtain a transfer costs.
A Premier League movement seems to be the most likely option for Trincao, with a double link to Manchester, via former boss Ruben Amorim at Manchester United, or former sports director Hugo Viana in Manchester City.
Previous reports from a Bola indicated that City had a lead, because Pep Guardiola wants to find out his team for the 2025/26 campaign.
However, every potential output will not be easy, due to the conditions of its original move to Lisbon from Barcelona, as part of a deal of € 7 million, with La Blaugrana retaining a 50% clause on a possible output.
Reports from Diario Sport indicate that United is willing to bridge the city, to seal a reunion with Amorim at Old Trafford and to pay his release clause of € 50 million at Sporting CP.
Barcelona will continue to look with interest while the campaign is winding up a conclusion, and a bidding war in Manchester would benefit their finances and yield a potential amount of € 25 million.
That money will be added to Hansi Flick's transfer budget to spend this summer as part of the club's 1: 1 policy on the signing of players from generated income.
