BARCELONA, 31 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish international player Adama Traoré, who returns to FC Barcelona, the club where he trained, from Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club of the English Premier League and on loan until the end of the season, was registered by the Blaugrana club in LaLiga and will be able to make his debut this Sunday against Atlético de Madrid, at the Camp Nou.
FC Barcelona and Wolverhampton reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Adama Traoré until June 30, 2022. The Catalan team is in charge of the player’s file and has a free purchase option.
The presentation of Adama Traoré as a new first team player will be this Wednesday at the Camp Nou, starting at 1:30 p.m., although without an audience due to health restrictions.
Traoré, who arrives to exploit the right wing but could also play on the left wing or even as a full-back, was not counting on minutes at Wolves and with this departure to a Barça he knows he could be more of a protagonist.
If this is the case and he enjoys the confidence of his new coach, Xavi Hernández, in the form of minutes it would go well for him for the 2022 Qatar World Cup, for which he hopes to be summoned by Luis Enrique to be part of the Spanish team, with which He has been an absolute international on up to eight occasions.
With great strength –with a very muscular body that makes him stand out– and speed, he is a more physical and powerful winger than a fine and technical one. However, he grew up with the ‘Barça DNA’ and fits the type of winger requested by the Blaugrana coach.
So far this season, Adama Traoré — 26 years old — had played 23 games for Wolves, with a single goal scored on January 15 in the win over Southampton, coming off the bench.
Of Malian origin and born in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat on January 25, 1996, Adama Traoré was part of the FC Barcelona youth academy from the age of eight, raised in La Masia. His official debut with the first team was on November 23, 2013 under the orders of Tata Martino, in a Barça-Granada (4-0) replacing Neymar. Three days later, he also made his Champions League debut, in a match against Ajax. His only goal with the first team was against Huesca, in the Cup win by 8-1.
After going through all the categories of grassroots football from Benjamin A, and playing four games with the first team, he left for Aston Villa in the summer of 2015, where he would play in the 2015/16 season in the Premier League. Later, he signed for Middlesbrough, where he would be for two more seasons (2016/17 and 2017/18).
