Tommy Marqués, a 19-year-old midfielder from FC Barcelona, has officially been signed by Sporting de Braga for a fixed fee of €11 million. The announcement was made by both Braga and Barcelona, confirming the player's transfer as he is currently in Portugal.

Marqués, who made his first-team debut for Barcelona last season, spent over a decade in the Catalan club's youth academy. The young player participated in only two league matches, totaling nine minutes of playing time in the top division.

In addition to the fixed fee, the transfer includes a potential variable amount that will depend on individual and collective targets that Marqués achieves at Braga. This detail has been reported by several media outlets.

Sporting de Braga thus strengthens its squad with a player from Barcelona's youth setup, who is seen as a promising talent for the future of football. Marqués has signed a contract extending until 2031, solidifying his ties to the Portuguese club.

The sale of Tommy Marqués represents a significant financial gain for Barcelona, which retains a right of first refusal on the player. This means they will have the opportunity to reacquire him in the future should Braga decide to sell.

Braga fans are hopeful that Marqués can make a significant contribution to the team in the upcoming seasons as part of the club's strategy to bolster their roster for national and European competitions.
