Joan Laporta explains the Adama Traore situation
The Wolves winger is on loan at Barcelona with a buy clause in his deal
Barcelona president Joan Laporta spoke to L'Esportiu about various topics, including Adama Traore’s future.
“We are happy with him, he gave an impulse to the team and there’s nothing to recriminate him for. It’s an FFP question. The buy option is elevated and the market is moving. We have the Trincao situation which is reciprocal because it’s the same amount of money. We’ll see what happens. The market is moving and there is interest in these players and we have to evaluate the FFP factor.”
Other quotes on current Barça players:
On Ferran Torres: He’s on the salary level that corresponds to him. Apart from great technical quality, he’s got a lot of running in him. We’re very content with his attitude and quality. You have to understand that to adapt to Barcleona’s system requires time, and I think when Pedri has played, Ferran has performed more because his play is linked with Pedri’s.
Alves: It’s up to the sports staff. We are delighted with the atmosphere he has created, how he has helped the young players, we’re grateful for what he has brought to the club and now there are sporting circumstances that the coach and sports staff will look at. The objective of Alves is to play at the world cup and if the expectations we are making for next season show he won’t get minutes, that could hurt his case. The staff have to evaluate it.
