Barcelona winger rejected offers from Manchester City and Liverpool in the winter

Barcelona signed Adama Traore in the winter transfer market on a short-term loan deal that has his permanent clause set at nearly €35 million. The winger was adamant about returning to his boyhood club, and in the process, rejected multiple great offers from the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur’s desire to sign him in the winter was well known, but Culemania now reports that Liverpool and Manchester City were also interested in signing Traore. They would have entered the bid to sign him in the summer as well, but did not have any intentions of giving him a starting spot in the team.

The decision to leave Wolverhampton Wanderers, though, was made easier when Barcelona came calling. It was his chance to redeem himself at the club of his life, and he has restarted life in Catalonia in a spectacular fashion.

Adama already has four assists in seven games for Barça, while registering nearly 1.2 key passes per game.

Despite his incredible start, his purchase clause might be problematic for the Catalan giants, who are exploring other alternatives to pave his path to the Camp Nou. Riqui Puig is a subject of interest from Wolves and could be included in the Adama deal.
