Trincao’s Barcelona exit is good news for Alex Collado

Francisco Trincao’s departure from Barcelona is reportedly set to be good news for B team captain Alex Collado who will be promoted to the first-team for the 2021-22 season.

Barca confirmed on Sunday that Trincao is heading off to the Premier League to spend the season on loan with Wolves after a tricky first year at the Camp Nou.

The Portuguese youngster’s departure means Collado will be rewarded for his impressive displays last season and make the step up to the first team, according to Sport’s Albert Roge.

Collado played a key role for Garcia Pimienta’s side last season after returning from injury as the team made it all the way to the playoffs before being defeated in an epic shootout against UCAM Murcia.
