Adama Traore transfer news: Barcelona and Juventus monitoring Wolves star

Adama Traore came through the ranks in the Barcelona academy before moving to England in 2015 and the LaLiga giants are reportedly monitoring his situation at Wolves. However, the Catalan giants are likely to make a move for an Adama Traore transfer only next summer as Barcelona are reportedly focusing on outgoing players in the upcoming window. The Blaugrana are mightily impressed with the star winger due to the Adama Traore speed factor and his dribbling ability.

Traore has the knack for getting past players with his speed and Serie A table-toppers Juventus are also keeping an eye on the Wolves star. Juventus reportedly want to reduce the average age of their front-line with an Adama Traore transfer. Cristiano Ronaldo and Juan Cuadrado are 35 and 32 respectively and Brazilian winger Douglas Costa turns 30 in September.

Adama Traore transfer: Stats at Wolves

Adama Traore has scored four goals and provided nine assists in the Premier League for Wolves this season pushing them up to sixth place on the table. Traore has been a key member of Wolves' push for Europe and has also scored twice in the Europa League. The 24-year-old still has three years left on his Wolves contract putting the Premier League club in a strong position for negotiations over an Adama Traore transfer. Traore joined Wolves on a reported £18 million deal from Middlesbrough back in August 2018 and has since gone from strength to strength at the Molineux. However, It is believed that if Wolves qualify for the Champions League this season, Traore will remain at the club.
