Youth and talent up front 

Francisco Trincão was born on 29 December 1999 in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. He began his career in the youth teams at Vianense and FC Porto before landing at SC Braga. On 28 December 2018 he made his first team debut for the Portuguese club against Vitoria FC in a league cup match.Since his debut, Trincão has made 29 appearances for the first team, scoring three goals. In the current season he has established himself as a key part of the team, playing 21 times and scoring three goals and providing six assists.

The player has represented Portugal at various levels and is currently a member of the U21 national squad. With the U19 team he was part of the side that won the European Championships in 2018 and ended the tournament as top scorer with five goals and top assist provider with three.

Left footed but can play anywhere

The young Portuguese forward can play anywhere up front although he usually features on the wing, on either flank despite being left footed. Trincão is quick and technically gifted with a vision that means he is a great creator of goals as well. The new Barça player also has the ability to take defenders on with his dribbling skills.
