The statement read:“FC Barcelona and Wolverhampton Wanderers have reached an agreement for the loan of the player Adama Traoré until 30 June 2022. The blaugranes will pay the player’s wages and there is an option to make the deal permanent.
“The presentation of Adama Traoré as a new FC Barcelona player will be on Wednesday 2 February behind closed doors. The club will announce further details shortly.
“Born in Hospitalet de Llobregat near Barcelona on 25 January 1996, Adama Traoré joined FC Barcelona at the age of eight. The talented winger progressed quickly, often playing in teams above his age group.
“A strong, pacey player, Adama made his debut in the Second Division with Barça B at the age of 17. In the 2013/14 season he played 26 times for Eusebio’s team, scoring five goals. He also helped the U19 side claim the UEFA Youth League title for the very first time in 2014.
“Adama’s debut for the first team came on 23 November 2013 with Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino in charge of the team. He came on as a substitute in the final minutes of a 4-0 win at home Granada, replacing Neymar. Three days later he made his debut in the Champions League in a game against Ajax in Amsterdam. His only goal for the first team came in a Copa del Rey game against Huesca in an 8-1 Barça victory.”
