Leeds would be willing to pay £40m for Adama Traore | OneFootball

Leeds United are interested in signing Adama Traore from Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer.

According to Eurosport, the Whites have been following the Spanish international for a while now and they could make a move to bring him to Elland Road in the coming months.

The report states that Wolverhampton Wanderers value the player at around £80 million but Leeds will look to snap him up for half of that amount.

Traore has had a mediocre season with Wolves and it is highly unlikely that any club will meet his £80 million valuation this summer.

Leeds could definitely use more depth in the attack but a big-money move for Traore would be quite surprising.

The 25-year-old Spaniard plays a similar role to that of Brazilian winger Raphinha who has been outstanding for Leeds this past season and he is now a key player for Bielsa.

If Traore moves to Elland Road, he is likely to be a backup option. It is highly unlikely that the Spaniard will accept such a role and the move would not make sense from Leeds’ perspective either.

Splashing out big money on a backup winger would be illogical when the side is in need of reinforcements in other areas. The Whites must look to bring in a quality striker and a centre back first.

Traore is undoubtedly a quality player but he might not be the ideal fit for Leeds right now.

Other Wolves players such as Ruben Neves and Pedro Neto have been linked with moves away from Molineux as well especially after the departure of manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
