Looks like Barcelona want Traore on loan but with no obligation to buy, can't see Fosun going for that if they need cash to buy now!

Easy way around that straight swap for Trincao Bruno rates him and that's good enough for me.

Not a rumour, it’ll definitely be warmer sitting on the bench in Spain.

I actually agree that it seems bizarre to me, also what would stop them from just offering him a pre contract on a free before he leaves?! I suppose the carrot here is that they are offering £9m more than Spurs, which only counts for something if they actually buy him! I would tell them it needs to be an obligatory sale at the end, but then what do I know about such things! ?

@Arddunby BBC Sport and The Express and Star are saying "with an obligation to buy at the end of the season" E&S expand on that and say buy for 29m GBP.

Debbie it seemed to me that Barcelona wanted a straight loan to the end of the season

This is from the guardian, it may be a fast moving story though:

Details of any transfer to Barcelona are being discussed. Barcelona want to take Traoré on loan with an option to buy, whereas Wolves would prefer such a deal to include an obligation to purchase him. With Traoré holding out for a move to the Camp Nou, talks are continuing to see whether a solution can be found.

Fabrizio Romano saying that the deal is completed. Loan till the end of the season with option to buy for €30m.

Agreed @Arddunby (hope I wasn't coming across as knocking you) this story will grow arms and legs before the truth comes out. That's for sure.

The transfer fee in the summer is about equal to the Trincao fee so I assume a swap is going to happen. Not so sure we are getting the best of it though. The main thing he's not staying in England. Shame we couldn't keep him I just hope he's happy. I for one will miss him.

Cannot believe they would swap Traore for Trincao, I know Traore can be inconsistent but he is light years ahead of Trincao . Perhaps Lage can see something about him but he has never produced much on the field.

I’m hoping something involving Ricard "Riqui" Puig.

Well Bruno wants Trincao and obviously sees something in him and that's good enough for me.

I smell a loan signing on the way with potential option to buy and it ain't traore

I'm with Ray on this one, can anyone honestly say they've seen ANYTHING from Trincao to justify a £30m fee?! I accept he may have potiential but £30m is a big transfer for us and as we learnt with Fabio spending that on potiential isn't without its risks. Don't get me wrong I think Fabio will eventually be a good player for us. But I also think with where we currently are if we spend £30m it should be on a player that can literally take us up a place in the league and not three years later (for example Sa this season). Ironically the kind of player I'm describing is the one we are sending to Barca! ?
