A. Traore extended contract with "Barcelona"

One of the most talented youth academy footballers of Barcelona in Catalonia should be playing at least until the summer of 2018.

On Wednesday, the eighteen-year-old Barcelona B team forward Adama Traore signed a new four-year contract.

"This is a very important day for me and my family. I am happy," the player told journalists.

A. Traore has been playing in the Barcelona academy since the summer of 2004, and since last year he has been a regular member of the main youth team playing in the second division of Spain.

The forward has already made his debut for the elite Barcelona team - on November 23, 2013, the then seventeen-year-old footballer replaced Neymar on the field in a Spanish championship match against "Granada." Just three days later, on November 26, the forward played for the first time in a UEFA Champions League match against Amsterdam's "Ajax," replacing Cesc Fabregas in the second half on the field.
