Saturday evening saw claims from The Mirror about Liverpool interest in Adama Traore. The story was presented as an exclusive, and it was reported Jurgen Klopp is ‘desperate’ to add the Wolves man to his Reds squad.

Sunday sees similar claims coming from France.

Le10 Sport have had a string of Wolves exclusives over the past couple of days, which suggests someone is keen to push some stories out there, especially if people in the English media are being told the same.

The French website says Liverpool have ‘already positioned’ themselves in the transfer race for Traore, along with Manchester United and Manchester City. Bayern Munich are also credited with interest in the player.

What’s interesting from the claims is it being stated Jorge Mendes is trying to get involved and build a transfer. Traore isn’t represented by Mendes’ agency Gestifute, but that hasn’t stopped him masterminding transfers in the past.

Mendes has good connections at Wolves and it would be no surprise if he’s involved with the club’s transfers again this summer.
