FC Barcelona continue to tinker with their squad and have now officially announced the return of Adama Traoré.
English media had already reported on Friday that the 26-year-old had decided against Tottenham Hotspur and in favour of a return to FC Barcelona, and yesterday the Spaniard travelled to Catalonia for his medical check. Pictures of Traoré before the check in Barcelona were already doing the rounds.

Traoré came through La Masia but was denied the final step to the professional squad and so he moved to England to Aston Villa in 2015. In England, the brawny winger made a lasting impression and attracted particular attention during his time with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
This season, however, the eight-time Spanish international has been a little slow, scoring just one goal in 20 games. Nevertheless, the Catalans have been courting the 26-year-old intensively in recent days in order to make his return perfect. As Barça announced on their website, Traoré will initially be loaned out until the end of the season, after which the Spaniards have an option to buy. According to reports, this option is worth 30 million euros, and Traoré will be officially presented to the Catalans on 2 February.
