Except for overturning, Adama Traoré (25-1-1996, L’Hospitalet) will play for Barça on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers until June 2022. A surprising operation, independent in principle from the departure of Dembélé, who has in Jorge Mendes, representative of Ansu Fati (also of Semedo and Trincao in the Wolves), his main supporter. In addition, according to sources from the club, the operation is not costly for Barça, since the player will have a very small record until June and Barça will be able to fit him into his salary limit without problemsl. The media twitch Jijantes FC considered the signing closed, although Barça still does not take it for granted and insists that there are still fringes to be resolved.
Adama was not the undisputed starter in the Wolves and, in fact, he wasn’t even playing all the games on the right wing (position occupied by Trincao), but he was also acting as a striker. He has played 23 official matches this season in which he has scored a goal and has not given any assistance. Some poor figures, although from Barça it is explained that Xavi also wants this profile of a physical player.
Adama’s operation is also independent of Morata’s, as Barcelona also clarifies. The striker from L’Hospitalet is a market opportunity, but the option of the striker from Madrid arriving is a possibility. Barça wants to announce the signing of Adama as soon as possible, whose ideal position is the same as that of Ferran and Dembélé. Meanwhile, the lateral position continues without being reinforced.
