Famous for its ability to discover young talents, FC Barcelona seems to have let go of a player who is now showcasing his full potential far from Camp Nou: Francisco Trincão. The Portuguese footballer, who briefly passed through the Catalan team, is shining at Sporting de Portugal with a season start that promises to be the best of his career, revealing that perhaps Barcelona did not have the necessary patience to exploit his talent.

Trincão landed in Barcelona in the summer of 2020 at the age of 20, with a promising future and a price tag of 31 million euros from Sporting de Braga. However, his time at the Blaugrana club did not meet expectations. Despite playing 42 matches in all competitions, he started only nine times, with a modest record of three goals and two assists. Barça, in full reconstruction and with high expectations, did not give the young Portuguese player enough time to adapt and shine.

Now a Star in Portugal

After his single season at the Catalan club, Trincão was loaned out twice, first to Wolverhampton, where he also struggled to settle, and then to Sporting de Portugal. It was in his homeland that the winger rediscovered his best form. The loan to Sporting turned out to be a success, with 13 goals and four assists in the 2022/23 season, leading the Portuguese club to make his transfer permanent for a sum that now seems like a real bargain.

With three goals and four assists in just ten matches this season, Trincão has become one of the stars of the Lisbon team, proving that the talent was there from the beginning. Perhaps in Barcelona, they should have had a bit more patience.
