In the last few hours, Juventus have taken important steps in the negotiation of the transfer for Francisco Trincao, the 19-year-old Portuguese forward at SC Braga who has also been linked with Inter.

According to the noted transfer specialist Gianluca Di Marzio, Fabio Paratici, the sporting director of Juventus, has met Jorge Mendes the player’s agent in Dubai, as part of the ‘Global Soccer Awards,’ to try to close the operation.

The figures being suggested are currently €2 Million for the loan and €13 Million for the right to buy outright.

Trincao has been at the Portugues club SC Braga since 2015 and has made 39 league appearances for the senior team since 2016, despite only being 19 years old. He has also scored 6 league goals in that time for Braga.

Born in 1999, Trincao is also currently a member of the U19 Portugal squad and has scored seven goals in 13 appearances for his country’s youth side.
