Wolves winger Adama Traore has left the door open to rejoining his former club Barcelona.
As per the Mail, he said: “Barcelona is my home, it is reality. I have grown up there, I have been there for 10 years.
“From here on we will have to manage with my agents and see what role Barca wants.”
Traore has apparently recently been in talks over a new contract, so it remains to be seen how these latest comments will impact those negotiations.
Something else which also adds another dimension to negotiations is Wolves’ reported interest in two Barcelona players.
Bruno Lage could apparently bring Francisco Trincao and Carles Alena to Molineux from the Nou Camp during his maiden transfer window.
That didn’t go unnoticed by some Wolves fans reacting to the report on Twitter, who mooted a potential swap deal.
Others noted that Barcelona are in a poor financial state right now, focusing on free transfers for the likes of Sergio Aguero and Memphis Depay.
It was reported last week that Leeds expect they’d need to spend £40 million to land Traore, which would be a club record for them.
So it’s hard to see how Barca could afford Traore right now. In any case, here’s how the Spanish international fluttering his eyelids in the direction of his former employer went down on social media:
