Adama Traore meeting held as Bruno Lage makes Wolves transfer demand

Bruno Lage insists he doesn’t want a major overhaul at Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer.

Speculation is mounting over the futures of numerous Wolves stars, including influential midfielder Ruben Neves, and four of Lage’s players are out of contract in June. Wolves are expecting to shuffle their pack in the transfer market, but Lage has warned against wholesale changes.

“We cannot drop these guys, or we can only drop them if they think they have already given everything to the club,” said Lage. “I see Joao (Moutinho) motivated at 35-years-old, so it’s not about age or how many years they have been with the club, if they can still give us the things we want then we need to protect these guys. They know the club, they know the culture, they have worked together a lot, four years with Nuno and one with me.”

A transfer summit was reportedly held between Gestifute and Barcelona on Thursday evening to thrash out Adama Traore’s future.

Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Traore has spent the second half of the season on loan at the Camp Nou, and Barcelona hold an option to make the deal permanent for £25million. Traore has only played 63 minutes across Barcelona’s last eight La Liga games though, making a permanent return to his boyhood club unlikely.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has suggested Barcelona aren’t in a strong enough financial position to trigger their option on Traore. Laporta has also admitted a swap deal involving Francisco Trincao could appeal to Barcelona.

Laporta, Barcelona vice-president Rafa Yuste and director of football Mateu Alemany met with Gestifute officials at a restaurant in Catalonia on Thursday to discuss Traore and Trincao. Mundo Deportivo claims
