Leeds ‘launch £30m transfer bid for Wolves ace Adama Traore’

Leeds United have reportedly stepped up their interest in Adama Traore by offering Wolves £30million to sign the winger.

The 25-year-old has been linked with a move away from Molineux this summer with Barcelona and Chelsea two interested parties.

But according to transfer guru Duncan Castles, the Whites are looking to steal a march in the race to secure the Spain international’s services.

He has claimed that Marcelo Bielsa’s side have launched a £30m offer as the Argentine gaffer looks to bolster his attack.

Speaking on the Transfer Window Podcast, Castles has stated that Leeds are willing to smash their club-record fee to bring the player to Elland Road.

Though it has been alleged that Traore, who started 28 Premier League games last season, sees joining Leeds as a sideways move.

If Traore was to leave, he would only want to play for a club in the Champions League.

Castles said: “They [Leeds] were prepared to pay an initial £30m for Adama, who is a player that is well known to Leeds’ director of football Victor Orta.

“He signed him from Aston Villa when he was in charge at Middlesbrough a few years back.

“My guidance is that Adama is not interested in moving there and sees himself at, rather than making a sideways move in the Premier League, he wants to move up to a club with Champions League status.
