The Portuguese attacker Francisco Trincao, currently at Sporting Braga (20 years old) and the Brazilian Matheus Fernandes (Palmeiras, 21 years old) will arrive at Camp Nou next year. Although the second is already in Spain to play the second part of the season in Valladolid, courtesy of the Brazilian club.

"FC Barcelona and SC Braga have reached an agreement for the transfer of player Francisco Trincao, who will join the Barça discipline on July 1, 2020," Barça said in its statement. "The cost of the operation is 31 million euros and the player will sign a contract with the club for the next five seasons, until the end of the 2024-2025 academic year, with a termination clause of 500 million euros," said the team Barca.

In 2018, he was proclaimed champion of Europe U19, participating with a goal in the final victory against Italy (4-3) and becoming the top scorer of the tournament. Known for the quality of his left leg, Trincao is part of a promising generation of Portuguese soccer players with Joao Felix (Atlético Madrid), Gedson Fernandes (Tottenham) or Rafael Leao (AC Milan). In this season he has played 22 games with Braga, with a balance of three goals and six assists.

His freedom clause will be set at 300 million euros.

Hours after the announcement of the Barca club, Valladolid announced that Matheus Fernandes will arrive as assigned until the end of the course by Palmeiras.
