Adama Traoré has featured in every league fixture for Wolverhampton Wanderers since Julen Lopetegui took charge at the Molineux in December.
The winger has two goals and an assist from 26 matches in all competitions this season, out of which an assist came after the new manager arrived at the club.
Although the Spain international’s statistics are not impressive, the ex-Sevilla manager has a desire to retain him at Wolves beyond this season. Traoré’s deal runs down in June.
A month ago, Alfredo Pedullà stated the Premier League side will continue to offer a new deal to 27-year-old after he rejected several renewal offers. It was also explained Napoli are keeping tabs on him.
Sportitalia explain the Naples club are already at the pre-planning stage as they want to outline their plan well in advance for the summer. The report focuses on Napoli’s interest in Traoré.
It’s claimed Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has ‘put himself in an advantageous position’ to ‘plan to close’ the deal for the winger if Wolves don’t end up offering him an improved deal.
This comes around the same time as Gazzetta dello Sport said the transfer chief had his eyes set on the player, with this story seemingly never-ending.
