Barcelona Signs Trincao, Atletico Madrid Brings Back Carrasco on Deadline Day

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) - Barcelona signed Portuguese forward Francisco Trincao for next season and Atletico Madrid announced the return of Yannick Carrasco on Friday, the final day of the transfer window in Spain.

Barcelona said it had 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 goals.
