Barcelona signing Trincao: I've heard from Griezmann; family proud Messi will be teammate

Braga attacker Francisco Trincao admits his family are excited for him over his imminent move to Barcelona.

Signed by Barca earlier this year, Trincao will move to the Nou Camp at the end of this season.

He told Marca: "The call of the club was a pride for me. I really want to wear the best shirt in the world and I really want to meet their footballers, they are the best in the world.

"My family is proud that they can play with (Lionel) Messi.

"He is the best in the world. I also spoke to (Antoine) Griezmann and he sent me a message saying, 'Come on, carallo'."

Trincao added: "I am a footballer who works hard, mentally strong and looking for goals, assists and helping the team. My strengths are one on one. My style goes well with that of Barcelona, I will bring my magic and my youth."
