LaLiga: Barcelona sign Francisco Trincao, Matheus Fernandes; Yannick Carrasco returns to Atletico Madrid

January 31, 2020

Barcelona: Barcelona signed two young players to join the club after the season and Atletico Madrid announced the return of Yannick Carrasco on Friday, the final day of the transfer window in Spain.

Barcelona said it completed deals to bring Portuguese forward Francisco Trincao and Brazilian midfielder Matheus Fernandes into its squad on 1 July.

Barcelona said it agreed to pay Portuguese club Braga 31 million euros ($34 million) to acquire the 20-year-old Trincao after the season ends for five years.

Since debuting with Braga in December 2018, Trincao has scored three goals in 29 matches. He has played for Portugal’s youth teams and helped it win the Under-19 European Championship in 2018 as its top scorer with five.

Barcelona described him as a “talented and quick player with a good left leg” who can play as a winger on either side of the attack.

Barcelona said it paid Brazilian club Palmeiras 7 million euros for Matheus, who will play the remainder of this season on loan at Valladolid. He will then sign five seasons for Barcelona.

Atletico will hope to boost its goal production immediately with the return of Carrasco, a Belgium forward who played for the Spanish club from 2015-18 before leaving for China.

He returns on a loan deal until the end of the season from Chinese club Dalian Professional.

Carrasco scored 23 goals, including one in the 2016 Champions League final that Atletico lost to Real Madrid. He made 124 appearances in his first stint with Atletico.

Villarreal presented striker Paco Alcacer on Friday, a day after securing his move from Borussia Dortmund.

Sevilla also presented midfielder Jesus “Suso” Saenz two days after he joined the club on loan from AC Milan for this season and the next.

“I really wanted this to happen,” the 26-year-old Suso said. “We all made a huge effort and I am here, which is what I and my family wanted. I have been away since I was 16 and it is important to come back home.”
