A few days ago, according to Spain's "Fichajes" report, in order to replace Dembele, Xavi has begun to look for his replacement, his favorite candidate is the Premier League Wolves Spanish fringe international Adama Traore, the famous agent predator Mendes is now selling him around, Xavi hopes that the team will take advantage of his declining value to win the Barca youth coach.
Dembele's contract expires in 2022, and his renewal conditions are extremely outrageous, he is asking for a new contract with a pre-tax annual salary of up to 43 million euros plus a bonus of 7 million euros, a figure that has not yet been reached by any other player in La Liga, and there is almost no room for negotiation between the two sides, so Barca also began to look for his replacement, and Xavi also gave his favorite candidate, that is, Wolves winger Adama Traore.
Born in 1996, Adama Traore is a player trained by Barca's academy, but he was signed by Premier League Aston Villa for 10 million euros when he was in team B, and then joined Wolves in 2018 for 20 million euros after moving to Miburg. At one point, Adama was once very dazzling in Wolves, and has been the king of the League in the past two seasons, averaging 5 and 4.1 passes per game in these two seasons, which shows its threat on the wing. Because of this, he also became a fringe international for Spain, but because his club is not a big club, he has not won a main position in the national team.
Adama's contract expires in 2023 and he will enter the contract year this summer, but this season he has not performed well, with 18 Premier League goals and assists in 18 appearances, so the valuation of his body value has now plummeted, from the previous 40 million euros to the current 28 million euros. But Xavi believes that Adama is still very suitable for this team, for example, this season his average breakthrough is still as high as 4.5 times per game, still the premier League average of the first breakthrough king per game, if he comes to Barcelona, he has the strength to tear apart the opposing defense on the flank.
Adama's agent is the famous predator Mendes, who is also peddling Adama everywhere today, and the price is not very high, about 35 million euros, and Xavi also hopes that Barca will take Adama at this time and let the youth jewel return to Camp Nou.
