Barcelona seal transfer of Traore

BARCELONA have completed the signing of Wolves winger Adama Traore, initially on loan until the end of the season.

The Spain international had been a leading transfer target for Tottenham during the January window but has opted to return to the club where he began his career.

The Catalan giants have an option to make the deal permanent in the summer for a fee of around £30million.

A statement confirming the move from Wolves’ technical director, Scott Sellars, said: “Adama has always acted with the utmost professionalism, however it is no secret that we have not been able to agree a new contract with him, despite protracted negotiations, and his desire at the moment is to play football elsewhere.

“Everyone knows Barcelona is a city, and club, very close to Adama’s heart, so it is a dream move for him. We have also agreed a very healthy option in the deal should Barcelona wish to make the move permanent this summer.
