Barcelona are said to be considering a summer move to bring Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore back to the Camp Nou – according to a report in the Daily Mail. The 24-year-old is a product of their famed youth academy but moved to the United Kingdom in August 2015.
The Spanish-born star is currently valued at £25.2m (via Transfermarkt.co.uk) but it’s these Wolves fans would demand significantly more if they were to consider selling their man.
Would you sell Adama Traore for £50m?
No
Yes
How have the club’s supporters reacted to the latest reports concerning Adama Traore?

£150 mil and Messi should do it ??

This fan believes the lure of the La Liga giants could prove too much to resist if a formal approach was to be made:
If, and I mean if this is gonna happen… Adama will not be able to resist this… And to be fair, who would refuse?

However, others dispute the accuracy of this report.
Paper talk ???

What do we think?
Since teaming up with Nuno Espirito Santo, Traore has made huge strides, earning plenty of plaudits now that he is performing at a consistent level, therefore, it’s no surprise his former club are said to be sniffing around.
To understand just how much of an improvement the player has made you only need to look at a few basic statistics. Traore has provided seven assists in 24 Premier League games this season and has also chipped in with four goals – having scored just once in 66 prior top-flight appearances.
Wolves are currently in 8th place in the division and are through to the knockout stages of this season’s UEFA Europa League.
