Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly closing in on Adama Traore.
According to The Telegraph, Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to break their transfer record on Middlesbrough winger Adama Traore in the coming days.
Wolves have made a couple of ambitious additions this summer with Rui Patricio, Jonny and Joao Moutinho all arriving, whilst loanees Willy Boly, Ruben Vinagre and Leo Bonatini have all penned permanent moves.
Manager Nuno remains in the market for new signings before the transfer deadline next week, and it seems that another wide man is on his wish list despite already having Ivan Cavaleiro, Helder Costa and Diogo Jota at his disposal.
Wolves have been strongly linked with a move to sign Middlesbrough wide man Adama Traore, with The Telegraph now reporting that a club-record £18million move is close.
It’s claimed that Wolves have already had a bid of £12million rejected, but will now return to activate his £18million release clause in the coming days to lure him to Molineux.
The former Barcelona talent may have blown hot and cold in the Premier League with Aston Villa and Middlesbrough, but he starred in the Championship last season.
The 22-year-old hit five goals and 10 assists in 36 Championship games last season, but a Premier League has been expected ever since Boro missed out on promotion back to the top flight.
The report notes that Nuno thinks Traore will play a key role at Molineux, hence his desire to push through a deal before the deadline, and Traore may well be a Wolves play in the coming days.
