The Mail claim Wolves are ‘open to offers’ for powerhouse winger Adama Traore this summer amid interest from both Leeds and Tottenham. Both clubs tried to sign Traore in January, only for him to go on loan to Barcelona.
Traore, 26, rejoined Barcelona on a loan-to-buy deal in January – having come through the La Masia academy. He played 16 times under Xavi, but did not score a single goal and only laid on four assists.
The Spain international has now entered the final 12 months of his contract at Molineux and The Mail say that Wolves are ‘open to offers’ for the winger. Earlier reports this summer say Leeds and Tottenham are still looking at him.

Wolves ‘open to offers’ for Traore amid Leeds and Tottenham interest
Traore’s stock is hardly at its highest. After the 2018-19 season, the player was being touted at a figure north of £40million after 18 goal involvements in a Wolves side that reached the Europa League quarter-finals.
The potential is there, but his end product has always been an issue. Scoring just one goal for both Wolves and Barcelona last season is proof of this. But, at £20million, he is a bargain. Victor Orta ‘loves’ him.
The Spanish director of football pulling the strings at Elland Road worked with Traore at Middlesbrough. With Raphinha going, Leeds could easily make a play for the winger. But Spurs may require depth.
Lucas Moura is a target for Juventus, and Steven Bergwijn is closing in on a move to Ajax. Spurs may reignite their interest in order to bring in cover for Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison and Son Heung-min.
