Francisco Trincao claim could cause Wolves and Barcelona transfer issue

Francisco Trincao is currently on a season-long loan at Wolverhampton Wanderers from Spanish club Barcelona

Francisco Trincao's long-term future may not lie at Wolverhampton Wanderers, according to reports.

Trincao is on a season-long loan at Wolves from Barcelona and there has been some talk of the move being made permanent in the summer. However, reports emerging from Portugal claim that the player is "not satisfied" with life at the Molineux and does not see his future there.

According to O Jogo (via Sports Witness ), the winger is becoming disgruntled at Wolves and could look to pursue a move back to Portugal after links to Sporting Lisbon recently emerged. Trincao, 22, experienced a difficult adaptation to life in the Premier League and has recorded just one goal and one assist in 24 appearances so far

However, recently had shown glimpses of the quality he possesses, after an impressive showing as a substitute against Leeds United where he recorded a goal and assist. Whilst Wolves may be willing to let the player pursue a move elsewhere, it may cause problems for Barcelona in terms of their pursuit of Adama Traore on a permanent deal.

Barcelona boss Xavi has no intentions of including Trincao in his long term plans but the club will 'insist' on including him in a swap deal for the Traore, if this occurs. However, the report also states that the La Liga giants would be willing to negotiate a move elsewhere for Trincao, whether that is a loan or permanently. As previously mentioned, Sporting as well as Benfica would be interested if this option did materialise.

Trincao played 78 minutes in Wolves' most recent fixture, which saw them lose 1-0 to Newcastle United. He recorded four tackles, eight duels won, one foul drawn and three successful dribbles on the evening.
