Barcelona prefer to finally secure the services of Adama Traore, the striker who currently plays on loan at the Camp Nou from the Wolves squad. The Spaniards want to reach an agreement in the summer market, and are ready to include Riqui Puig in a possible deal.
Adama Traore has stood out with his performances with Barcelona, since approaching the team during the January transfer window. The player has recorded 4 assists in 8 matches in all competitions. Recall that Traore is a product of Barcelona academy, and the club wants to sign again with the striker.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Catalans have to pay around 30 million euros for Traore's card. Although the club executives are quite happy with the player's performances, they will again negotiate with the Wolves to agree on a lower figure for his transfer.
A potential solution is to include midfielder Puig in the deal. The latter has only been activated 13 times this season and despite the talent he possesses, the spaces for him on coach Xavi's team seem small. Moreover, his name is constantly mentioned for a possible departure from Camp Nou, straight Premier League. Wolves is an interesting option for Puig. The competition is not as high as in the "big" clubs of the English championship, and the player has more opportunities to develop. Especially considering the Wolves game model, who prefers to play with 3 midfielders.
President of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, has not hidden his desire to sign with Traore, but has also been honest about the club's difficult financial situation. He said:
"Adama has the DNA of Barcelona, he is one of the best strikers in the world. We would love for him to stayed here if possible, but we are in a difficult economic situation. We will see at the end of the season. "
