Young winger Adama Traore has become one of the most sought-after names in soccer after a breakout 2019-20 season, and it appears that Manchester City and Juventus are leading the chase for the Wolves winger.

Traore, whose dribbling skills this season have eclipsed those of even Lionel Messi, has told confidants that he would like to move on to another team after this season if Wolves is unable to secure a Champions League spot for next season, a proposition which looks highly unlikely.

Traore, a product of FC Barcelona’s La Masia youth academy, has become one of Wolves’ primary offensive threats alongside Raul Jimenez this season, which has seen the Premier League side advance to the knockout round of the Europa League and in the battle for a top 7 spot for next season.

Traore, who is only 24 years old, has scored 8 goals and contributed 12 assists across Europa League and Premier League action this season.

While Barcelona initially showed interest in bringing Traore back, it seems as if Manchester City and Juventus are currently in a better position to obtain his services thanks to their stronger financial situations.

This summer, fans will surely see Traore on the move as one of the biggest moves on the transfer market.
