Barca officially announced that Premier League Wolves striker Adama Traoré has officially joined Barca on loan. This is a lease contract with a buyout clause. Barca were able to buy out Traoré at the end of the season for 30 million euros. If Barca choose a buyout, they will sign him until June 2027. However, this is not a mandatory buyout clause. That said, Traore's performance during his loan spell will determine whether Barca will opt for a buyout.
Traoré was originally from Barca's La Masia academy, but his body is not much different from the average Barça youth player, he has very strong muscles, just like a rugby player, such a "heavyweight" player in the Barca team is still extremely rare. In fact, Barca are not the only teams pursuing Traore, and the conditions offered by Barca do not have much advantage. But Terraore still chose Barca because he grew up in Barcelona and has a deep affection for this place and this club, so he is willing to return to Barca.
Traore is a very characteristic player with 1 skill at the strongest in the Premier League. After joining Wolves, Traore made 697 premier league attempts with Wolves, 484 of which were successful. During the same period, he was the player with the most successes in the British league. At the same time, in the data of creating opportunities after passing, it is also the highest in the Premier League in the same period, with 40 times! Traore's ability to excel is really incomprehensible, and his strong physical qualities make it easy for him to crush the opponent's backline like a bulldozer.
However, Traore's shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, the shooting technique is a bit bad, and it can be said that it is the worst shot among so many strong players. After playing in the Premier League for so long, the most goals scored have only been 5 goals. He has not scored a single goal in 20 appearances for Wolves this season. At the same time, his assist stats are also relatively poor. It is precisely because his shortcomings are too clear that his value can never be raised.
Traore was able to join Barca in large part because Barca are in such a bad position that they can only bring in some players who are likely to help the team in an unconventional way, rather than superstars. In any case, the addition of Traoré has ushered in a big helper for Harvey. Barca have entered the critical stage of the fourth round and must do their best to qualify for the Champions League, otherwise the losses will be very heavy. What changes will Traoré bring? See!
