Adama, further than ever

Adama Traoré is more aware with each passing day that his options to continue at Barcelona are running out alarmingly. The youth squad, who is on loan until June 30, has a purchase option of 24 million that Barcelona could make effective unilaterally, keeping the player in property. However, as AS has learned, not only is the club not going to execute said clause, but it is going to open the doors for him to return to Wolverhampton. Right now it does not seem that the possibility of a barter with Francisco Trincao, a Barça player on loan to Wolves, is being contemplated, so the future of the youth squad seems to be further away from ‘Can Barça’ every day.

Besides, his role in the team has been fading alarmingly in recent games, where he has only started in one -in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinal against Eintracht- of the last ten games. A fact that confirms the irregular performance of the striker in his last appearances. So much so that of the four winter reinforcements, he is the only one who has not yet seen a goal, being in his case a striker with vertical projection.

There is no doubt that the situation of Ousmane Dembélé, who is beginning to send unequivocal messages about his desire to renew with the club, Along with the signing of the Brazilian winger from Leeds, Raphinha, who seems to be very advanced, to which is added the return of Álex Collado, on loan to Granada, and even the option of the return of the Portuguese Trincao, they practically close the doors to the continuity of the extreme. Likewise, it does not benefit him that his contract ends next season with the English club, for which the club considers it totally unnecessary to pay 24 million for a player who would come for free next year.

Dani Alves is also in a very delicate situationalthough in his case there are still many options for him to continue one more season at Barcelona: tEverything will depend on the future of Sergiño Dest and César Azplicueta. If the American does not leave and the Chelsea captain is finally signed, the veteran Brazilian defender would have to pack his bags, and even more so considering that Sergi Roberto plans to continue one more year at the clubso the right back position would be more than covered.
