Adama Traoré awaits his chance at the Euro while his future is filled with rumors. If the Achraf option fails, Chelsea is willing to put all the meat on the grill for L'Hospitalet, since his versatility (he can perform as a winger or long-distance winger) likes Tuchel a lot. Leeds de Bielsa also has him on its list of futures. However, it is a possible return home that he has dealt with in an interview granted in the program 'You will say ', of RAC1.
“Barcelona is my home, it is reality. I have grown up there, I have been 10 years. From here we will have to manage with my agents and see what role Barça wants”. Clear and concise. His contract with Wolverhampton runs until 2023, and the Wolves they will not give their arm to twist just like that. In fact, from England they point out that the bid would start at 80 million, double what the aforementioned Leeds was willing to put on the table. While 'Sport' points to the intention of Barça to include Trincao as a bargaining chip in order to pay for part of the operation.
Trincao as a bargaining chip
The Portuguese attacker, signed from Braga last summer for 31 million euros, he has not managed to gain continuity in the schemes of Ronald Koeman. Although he has played 42 games (3 goals and 2 assists), the playing time has not gone beyond 1,309 minutes, an average of just over half an hour per game. The good relationship between clubs, see the transfer of Nelson Semedo, would facilitate the exchange, with Jorge Mendes, an agent on the far right, as a bridge for his connection with Wolverhampton.

Although it has not been the best of their seasons, the Wolves are clear that Adama is a different footballer and his combination of power, physical exuberance, speed and dribbling are difficult to compare in the elite. What's more, his 25 years make him a long-term project, as much as the 3 goals and 3 assists in 41 games that appear on his statistics sheet for the course have put his progress on hold.
Close the circle
If he finally leaves Molyneux Stadium, Adama has it clear, as he pointed out in the interview, he wants to return to the place that shaped him as a footballer. The winger made his debut with the Blaugrana first team (he played four games), after being one of the diamonds that had been shining the most at La Masía, but he did not manage to hatch and in 2015 he heard the siren songs of the Premier. From Barça B to Aston Villa, from there to Middlesbrough and the jump to stardom has arrived in Wolverhampton, where he landed in 2018 in exchange for 20 million. Surely at your club they are looking forward to finally making their debut in the Eurocup, as a good performance would come hand in hand with a revaluation.
