Barcelona has begun planning to conclude a deal from the English Premier League, in anticipation of the departure of the Catalan team wing at the end of the current season.
Dembele’s contract with the Blaugrana extends until the summer of 2022, and so far the Frenchman is sticking to his intransigent position and rejecting all renewal offers submitted to him by the Barca team, and the Catalan club may be forced to abandon it this winter, or wait until he leaves for free at the end of the season.
According to the Spanish newspaper, “Sport”, Barcelona is planning to include financial player Adama Traore, Wolverhampton midfielder, if he does not succeed in renewing Dembele’s contract.
And the newspaper pointed out, that the sports administration in Barcelona believes that the Traore deal is the best solution to maintain the strength of Barca.
She indicated that Jorge Mendes, Traore’s agent, is leading the process of returning the Wolverhampton star to “Camp Nou”.
The 26-year-old was previously at Barcelona, before moving to Aston Villa in 2015.
The Spanish newspaper said that Barcelona has had an excellent relationship with Wolverhampton since the transfer of Nelson Semedo and Francisco Trincao to the English club.
And the Spanish newspaper completed its report, that Traore also has a good relationship with a number of Barcelona players, such as Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Sergi Roberto and Ferran Torres.
