Earlier, according to the Spanish "Daily Sport" news, Traore has been on loan to Barca this season, with a buyout cost of 30 million euros, but Barca is unwilling to pay this amount, so it is difficult to say whether Traore can continue to stay at Barca. In addition, the media said Tottenham had reignited interest in Traore as they awaited the outcome of negotiations between Barca and Wolves.
For such news, Tottenham fans not only have no interest, but even have a sense of resistance. "Love doesn't come", that's the mentality of Tottenham fans today. The reason is simple, because this winter window Traore's choice hurt Tottenham fans.
Prior to his loan spell at Barca, Traore was a top target for Tottenham boss Antonio Conte. Conte admired Traore's ability and wanted to transform it into a right-winger, like Moses at Chelsea. The Tottenham hotspur executives took the initiative, issued a 20 million pound offer to Wolves, and basically negotiated details such as salary and treatment with the players, and they also arranged a medical examination for Traore.
But in the final moments, the mother team Barca threw an olive branch to him. Traore also responded positively, rejecting Spurs' high-paying contracts and running to his old club. In the end, Barca succeeded in cutting off the beard, and Conte was furious, which also deeply hurt the hearts of Tottenham fans.
After joining Barca, Traore was very good in the starting stages. His explosive speed and explosiveness became the explosive point on barca's right side, and his sharp breakthrough earned him the nickname "Mei Xi". Successfully occupied the starting position and repeatedly delivered assists, becoming a major contributor to Barca's steady improvement.
But as Dembele's form recovered, Traore began to move away from the main lineup, and the shortcomings of the single individual technical characteristics were also magnified. Many times, Traore is too sticky in order to prove himself, and in the end he is either broken or wrong, and the initial good feelings are fading a little, and the voice calling for Barca to buy out is also a little depressed.
Judging from the current situation, Barca will most likely not choose to buy out Traore for 30 million. Because of the recent frequent news from Barca and Leeds united winger Rafinha, from the perspective of personal ability, this Brazilian winger is no less than Dembele. In terms of technical characteristics, he is much more comprehensive than Traore. Since the players have already left their minds and are willing to join Barca, and the agent is Barca's South American scout Deco, these factors have increased Barca's competitiveness.
Once Barca give up the buyout and Traore returns to Wolves, he will be pushed into the transfer market again, so it is not surprising that Conte sees it as a signing target. After all, Traore's technical characteristics are still very suitable for Conte's tactical play. Fast and strong, it can enhance Tottenham's ability to break the bus. Although his shooting ability is average, he can create opportunities for attackers such as Harry Kane by breaking through. And he became famous with the Premier League, which is more conducive to his play in this part of fighting for body speed.
And it is also very important that after another six months, Traore's contract is only 1 year left, and Spurs are expected to get the winger macho at a lower price.
In short, Conte will definitely shuffle the squad this summer and bring in players who match his tactical style of play. Although Traore had rejected him, after all, the tactical role of such a player was too obvious, and the price was not high, and the possibility of Spurs re-throwing an olive branch was not ruled out.
