Barcelona Loses Buyback Option for Trincao
Sporting Lisbon plans to extend Francisco Trincao's contract, leaving Barcelona without a buyback clause or future sales earnings.
Barcelona is set to lose its financial leverage on Francisco Trincao as Sporting Lisbon moves forward with plans to extend the winger's contract. Trincao, sold to Sporting in 2023 for €7 million, has had an outstanding season with six goals and 10 assists, cementing his position as one of the club’s top performers.
Barcelona had initially secured a 50% future sale clause and a buyback option worth €25 million until 2026. However, if Sporting successfully extends Trincao's contract, the Catalan club will forfeit these rights, potentially losing a lucrative source of revenue.
The extension comes at a time when Trincao has expressed comfort and satisfaction in Portugal, making his departure unlikely. Barcelona had hoped to capitalize on his market value in the summer of 2025 or beyond, but this development diminishes those prospects significantly.
For Barcelona, losing Trincao’s "financial lever" represents a missed opportunity to bolster their resources for future transfers, adding to their ongoing financial challenges.
