Barcelona fans have taken their new signing Adama Traore to be the new Ronaldinho, the return of the 26-year-old winger is like the return of their legendary Brazilian star Ronaldinho. The Spanish star reportedly took a significant pay cut to join his former club on loan until the end of the season.
He was presented to the media on Wednesday following his transfer deadline day move from English Premier League side Wolves. Adama Traore, who could join the Catalan giants for £25 million if the club decide to trigger the ‘option to buy clause, clearly wanted to make a great first impression as fans watched.
Fans said they have seen the good and the bad during skill challenges down the years but Adama gave a performance Ronaldinho would have been proud of when he was unveiled to them. Many said it is the complete opposite of when Ousmane Dembele joined them as the Frenchman’s presentation was very awful to watch.
Dembele is not the only player to crumble as the cameras click away. The likes of Martin Braithwaite, Sergio Dest and Real Madrid star Marco Asensio also had red faces after attempting the famous skill challenge.
The Spanish international is very happy to be back and happier he is accepted back speaking about his return he said: “I’m very happy to be back at Barça, where I grew up. This is a special moment for me.” He also said: “I had a conversation with Xavi, I know what he wants from me,” he added. “I talked to him before signing. I’ll give my 100%.”
