Barcelona are attempting to persuade Wolves to agree to a swap deal that would let them keep Adama Traore and leave Francisco Trincao at Molineux.
The Spanish giants have an option to buy Traore, who has been on loan since January, for about £29million in the summer, but their delicate financial position may prevent them from doing so.
Traore is keen to stay at the Nou Camp, where he began his career, and Barca would like to retain him.

But their chances of doing so may depend on convincing Wolves to take one of their squad players, with midfielder Riqui Puig another Barcelona are keen to shift.
Traore’s contract expires at the end of next season which means a second loan deal would have no benefit for Wolves.
‘I think a swap deal with Wolves between Francisco Trincao and Adama Traore could be a very good option,’ said Barcelona president Joan Laporta.
‘We’re really happy with Adama and his impact, attitude, performances.’
