Newcastle United, Leeds United and Tottenham are on red alert as Wolves look to offload Adama Traore this summer.

If reports from 90 Min are to be believed, Wolves attacker Adama Traore should find no shortage of suitors despite Barcelona’s snub. The explosive winger is set to return to Molineux this summer, but he is likely to be offloaded by Wolves as they look to inject some cash into the club, in order to help with Bruno Lage’s rebuild.

Adama’s situation has put a number of clubs on red alert, including Tottenham Hotspur. Newcastle United and Leeds United are involved in the equation as well, as they look to get their hands on the speedy attacker in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Tottenham were linked with a move for Adama in January. But the move fell through at the last minute, with the player opting for a return to his former club FC Barcelona. He joined the club on a short-term loan deal, and despite enjoying a promising start, he eventually lost his prominence in Xavi’s setup.

The Spaniard failed to score a single goal during his time at Barcelona. He found himself trailing behind Ousmane Dembele, Memphis Depay and Ferran Torres in the pecking order.

Barcelona had an option to sign him permanently for a fee of €30 million. But they have predictably opted to pass up the opportunity. However, the poor spell in Catalonia has not deterred Adama’s suitors, with Tottenham, in particular, once again willing to enter the market to secure his services.

With Emerson Royal facing an uncertain future at the club, coach Antonio Conte has identified Adama as an ideal solution to his problems at right wing-back.

Other than Spurs, Newcastle United, too, are exploring the possibility of signing Adama. The Spaniard could be a potential alternative for Kieran Trippier while he can also provide competition for the attackers. His presence as a utility man could prove to be beneficial for Eddie Howe, especially if his side fails to capture top target Moussa Diaby.

Leeds United, on the other hand, are likely targeting Adama as the direct replacement for Raphinha. The Brazilian is facing an uncertain future at Elland Road amid interest from Barcelona. Should he depart in the summer, coach Jesse Marsch is hoping to create an attacking combination between Adama and new signing Brenden Aaronson.

Wolves, for their part, are desperate to offload their prized attacker in the summer, knowing this might be their last big opportunity to earn some revenue before the player endures a dip in value.
