Barcelona Sign Francisco Trincao To Five-Year Contract With Monstrous Release Clause

Francisco Trincao gained to a contract signing with Barcelona on deadline date from Portuguese side Braga and his transfer to Nou Camp comes with a ludicrous release clause set for a whopping £420 million.

The striker is just 21-year-old and an Under-21 player, yet despite being signed a five-year deal of £26 million which will take an effect in summer, Barca set his buy-out clause far more than that of Neymar Jr. who left the club in 2017 after a release clause of £200 million was triggered.

Barcelona have dropped their search for Luiz Saurez's replacement as Everton declined an £85 million bid for Brazilian international Richarlison and made it clear to their La Liga counterparts that they are not willing to sell the player.
