Liverpool have once again been linked with a move for Wolves winger Adama Traore this summer.
Previously reported as holding an interest in January, the Reds could be set to follow up during the ongoing transfer window.
Any move for the powerful Spanish winger could be made easier as the Midlands club are looking to sell star assets in order to fun their own recruitment under newly appointed manager Bruno Lage.
That’s according to a report from 90min, as cited by Leeds Report on Twitter – highlighting the Yorkshire clubs own reported interest.

Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp once hailed the 25-year-old as ‘unplaybale’ following a 2-1 victory away ay Molineux.
Despite often portraying an unstoppable attacking force, Traore suffered somewhat of a dip in output during 2020/21 – scoring three and assisting three others in 41 appearances across all competitions.
During Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning campaign in 2019/20, the five-cap ace scored six times and registered 12 assists.

Lightning quick and virtually impossible to handle when in full flow, a Traore working under Klopp would be a frightening prospect.
Holding a market value of £27million and under contract until 2023 at Wolves (Transfermarkt), the Anfield club would likely have to spend in the region of £35-40million in order to land the star.
Klopp is certainly on the lookout for additional attacking options and in terms of potential and attributes, few are more impressive than the Spaniard.
Used in the right way – perhaps as an impact substitute – Liverpool could make a world-class player out of Traore.
