Liverpool handed Adama Traore transfer boost as Wolves lower asking price
Liverpool might not have to break the bank to sign Wolves star Adama Traore this month.
The Spain international has failed to find his best form so far this season with only one goal across 11 starts across 18 Premier League appearances.
As Nuno Espirito Santo’s side struggle to recreate their fine form of recent campaigns, Traore could end up looking to leave ahead of Euro 2020.
Should that be the case then Wolves might be forced to sell up to one of their Premier League rivals, despite the 24-year-old former Barcelona and Aston Villa man being under contract until 2023.
Spanish outlet Sport have reported that Liverpool, Leeds and Manchester City have all shown an interest in Traore, who could leave this month.
They add that Wolves have also lowered their asking price for the versatile winger because he is not interested in signing an extension to his current contract.
They report that a fee of £35m could lead to his departure, with Liverpool previously stepping back when a much higher amount was requested.
Nuno said after Traore scored the winner against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup last week: “It was a special goal from a special player.
“I am very happy because I think this goal will boost his confidence. He has been really trying in training sessions and that is why I am so happy.
“I ask all the players to get shots on goal, now I will ask Adama to keep doing this every game.
“He’s always looking for ways to improve his game and help the team. He’s hard working and special.
“He has good actions in the game, good delivery, good crossing that we have to take advantage of.
“But we have to have patience with everybody. It has been a hard season for everybody, all the teams, players and managers. You can see how the situation affects everybody.
“Adama is a versatile player who can play in a couple of positions and one thing we are sure about is that every time he is on the pitch he always has an impact.”
