Spain international Adama Traore will return to Barcelona after signing on loan from Wolves until the end of the season, the two clubs announced on Saturday. Barca said they would pay Traore’s salary and there is an option to make the deal permanent. Traor, 26, came through the academy at Camp Nou and made four appearances for Barca’s first team before joining Aston Villa in 2015.
He spent two seasons at Middlesbrough, and has played 154 times for Wolves since arriving in 2018 for a then-club record fee of £18 million ($24.1 million).
“Everyone knows that Barcelona is a city and a club very close to Adama’s heart, so this is a dream for him,” said Wolves technical director Scott Sellers.
“We have also agreed a very healthy option in this deal, if Barcelona want to make the move permanent this summer.”
Tottenham Hotspur were strongly linked with a move to Traore, but a £15million bid was rejected earlier this month.
Traore’s signing gives Barca coach Xavi Hernandez another attacking option with Usman Dembele in relegation after failing to agree a new contract, and teenager Anu Fati being sidelined by a ham.
