Adama Traore is wanted by Liverpool and Man City this month – but the Wolves winger is unlikely to sign for Leeds.
According to Sport, the Premier League trio are all interested in signing the former Barcelona and Aston Villa speed merchant in the January transfer window.
Leeds’ Director of Football, Victor Orta, is no stranger to Traore having played an integral role in reigniting his career at Middlesbrough.
However, any talk of Traore joining the Yorkshire giants has been described as ‘pure fantasy’, as per Leeds Live.
Spanish publication Sport claim Wolves are not willing to sell Traore for anything less than £35million this summer, as the Spains winger looks to secure more game time with one eye on this summer’s European Championship.
Wolves have been reluctant to let Traore go, having already lost Diogo Jota to Liverpool in a £41million deal back in September 2020.
And there is a good reason for that, according to the Athletic‘s Wolves correspondent, Tim Spiers.
Spiers wrote: “In terms of personnel, the way it’s been explained to me was that they felt Jota had probably hit a ceiling in terms of what he could achieve at the club and that £45m was a very good price to reinvest back into younger players who could be their next Jota.
“Perhaps they could have sold Adama Traore for a similar fee, but the feeling was Traore had a higher ceiling of potential than Jota.”
