Rumoured Liverpool and Arsenal target Adama Traore could complete a move away from Wolves this summer despite the ongoing coronavirus crisis, according to his agent Rodri Baster.
Traore began his professional career at Barcelona after rising through the club's famed La Masia academy ranks, but ultimately failed to establish himself as a regular in the first-team set-up.
The Spanish attacker was eventually sold to Aston Villa in August 2015, but endured a difficult first season in England which was marred by disciplinary and fitness issues.
Villa decided to offload Traore after being relegated from the Premier League, and he signed a four-year contract with Middlesbrough, who were coached by his compatriot Aitor Karanka at the time.
The 24-year-old impressed enough at the Riverside to earn an £18 million ($22m) transfer to Wolves in the summer of 2018, and has since taken his game to a new level.
Traore was enjoying the best season of his career to date before the Covid-19 pandemic called a temporary halt to Wolves' schedule, having contributed six goals and ten assists to the club's cause in 43 appearances across all competitions.
Liverpool and Arsenal are reportedly now lining up summer bids for the former Barca starlet, who has also been linked with Real Madrid in recent months.
It has been suggested that big money transfers will be unlikely to go through this year due to the potential financial repercussions of the coronavirus outbreak, but Traore's agent is optimistic that his client will be unaffected.
Baster told EFE: "I cannot talk about contractual situations because it is part of the privacy, but Adama was having a good campaign, due to age, conditions and others, he is a very attractive player and in a normal situation he would have had a market without any doubt.
"We are going to hope that the situation will normalize and hopefully it will not affect him this summer."
Traore's performances had helped Wolves rise to sixth in the Premier League standings, five points adrift of Chelsea in the race for the final Champions League spot.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side are also still in the hunt for Europa League glory, and look well placed to reach the quarter-finals after earning a 1-1 draw in the first-leg of their last 16 tie away at Olympiacos on March 12.

too big for a winger? Mate Traoré isn't like other big guys like Lukaku or Akinfenwa. He's one of the fastest players in world football and has a plethora of fancy tricks up his sleeve. He's surely better as a winger than a centre forward. Any club he plays for can use him to exploit spaces and torture defenders. His dribbling is sublime as well. You don't see many players blessed with the physicality of Diego Costa and the speed of a prime Gareth Bale at once, Adama Traoré is one of those rare ones.
I just think he'll be unstoppable if he was a striker because of his strength and the mbappe kind of pace he'll be one hell of a threat in the box bullying defenders and also running behind defenders before they even know it

arsenal are so poor, they can't even give their players and staff full wages, how can they buy Adama, and which player would like to go there?
I have liked your comment it justifies how you think I would want to inform you that every institution has it's own ways of doing things. For your own information; Stan kronke is thrice richer than the Glazer's family so your argument is null. So if the main objective of business is to make profit then who of the two clubs is better.
