La Liga champions Barcelona have over the last 24 hours secured for themselves a welcome boost on the financial front. This comes amid confirmation of an agreement being reached over the permanent departure of youngster Tommy Márques.
Midfielder Tommy has for his part been linked with a Blaugrana departure for several weeks now. After word was forthcoming that Deco and co. were going all in on their pursuit of Manchester City star Rodri, the Spanish starlet’s path to first-team minutes became an even more competitive one.
Tommy, who managed a pair of La Liga appearances last season, therefore made the call to seek out consistent playing time away from the Spotify Camp Nou.
And as alluded to above, early this week, this is precisely what the 19-year-old appears to have found.
As per a report from transfer market insider Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona have reached an agreement for Tommy’s immediate sale, with the talented midfielder set to reunite with ex-Blaugrana frontman Pau Víctor at Portuguese outfit SC Braga:
‘Tommy Márques to SC Braga, here we go! Deal in place for permanent exit of 19 year midfielder from Barcelona. Barça accept €10m plus €2m add-ons; Márques said yes to the proposal despite interest also from two German clubs.’
