FC Barcelona continues to advance in the recovery of its economy thanks to efficient management and strategic moves in the transfer market. Deco, along with the board, has worked tirelessly to clean up the club's finances and return to the 1:1 rule of financial Fair Play.
With the recent sale of Vitor Roque for 25 million plus 5 in variables, Barça has managed to gain room for maneuver. However, the need to generate more income remains a priority. Now, an unexpected move from the Premier League could provide a cash injection without the club having to do anything.
Pep Guardiola in Search of Reinforcements
Meanwhile Barça finds stability, the situation at Manchester City is completely different. Pep Guardiola's team is going through a difficult time and is looking for immediate solutions to revitalize its squad. The Catalan coach knows he needs key signings to bring the 'citizens' back to the top of Europe.
In his attempt to strengthen his team, Guardiola has set his sights on an old acquaintance. A player who, after leaving Barça without much success, has managed to rediscover his best version away from Camp Nou. Now, City is willing to pay 80 million euros to incorporate him into its project.
An Unexpected but Beneficial Operation
FC Barcelona still holds a percentage of the economic rights of this footballer. This means that if the operation is closed, the Catalan club would receive 40 million euros without needing to make any effort.
Deco is already rubbing his hands at this possibility, as this unexpected income would allow Barça to face new additions in the next market. The blaugrana club needs to strengthen several positions and this money would arrive at the right time.
The player who has caught Guardiola's interest is none other than Francisco Trincão. After his discreet stint at Barça, the Portuguese winger has managed to establish himself at Sporting de Portugal, becoming a decisive player.
With 9 goals and 13 assists in 40 matches this season, Trincão has shown that he has the level to compete at the elite level. Guardiola, aware of his evolution, is willing to make a significant financial effort to add him to his squad.
For Barça, this operation represents a golden opportunity. The 40 million euros it would receive for its percentage in Trincão's sale could be key to facing future investments. Now, it only remains to wait for Manchester City to make its offer official and for the Portuguese winger to make the definitive leap to the Premier.
