It is very difficult for the winger to continue next season, especially if the continuity of Dembele and the signing of Raphinha are confirmed, in addition to the return of Alex Collado.
The situation
Adama Traore 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. 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 Barcelona’ every day. In addition, his role in the team has been fading alarmingly in recent games, where he has only started one -in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final 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.
Details
There is no doubt that the situation of Ousmane Dembele, who is beginning to send unequivocal messages about his desire to renew with the club, together with the signing of the Brazilian winger from Leeds, Raphinha, who seems to be very advanced, to which is added the return of alex Collado, on loan to Granada, and even the option of the return of the Portuguese Trincao, practically close the doors to the continuity of the winger. 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.
