But according to Sport, he is most sought after in the Premier League, with City, Liverpool and Leeds eyeing a move this month.
Leeds’ director of football, Victor Orta, worked with Traore while they were both at Middlesbrough between 2016–2018.
But Leeds Live report Traore moving to Elland Road is ‘pure fantasy’.
It leaves current champions Liverpool and City scrapping it out for the wideman.
Anfield bosses have already done business with Wolves, having signed Diogo Jota for £41million in September.
But that exact transfer could make the club reluctant to sell Traore, as their attacking presence would take a major hit.
They are already without star striker Raul Jimenez, who suffered a fractured skull after colliding with Arsenal’s David Luiz in November.
