Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traoré has reportedly received two offers ahead of his Molineux contract expiration on June 30, including one from Al-Ittihad.

The Saudi Pro League side, who recently signed Karim Benzema from Real Madrid, are said to have already established contact with Traoré over a potential summer transfer.

Wolves’ number 37, who joined in May 2018 for around £18 million from Middlesbrough, has had his future up in the air all season as his deal with the club comes to an end this month.

Despite attempts from Wanderers to get the rapid Spaniard to renew, it appears he would rather move away for a fresh challenge – and there are already two offers on the table.

Spanish outlet Aficiómn Deportiva claims Al-Ittihad are in “advanced negotiations with Traoré” as they look to bolster their squad with top talent from Europe.

Chelsea superstar N’Golo Kante is another who has been approached as Fabrizio Romano has reported the Frenchman has been offered around €100 million per year to head to Saudi Arabia.

Real Betis are also in the fight for Traoré, however, as the La Liga side has “made a big play” by putting a “top-level offer” on the table for the winger, who now has an ultimatum.

Wolves remain optimistic that Traoré will stay for another season under Julen Lopetegui in the Premier League, but that seems incredibly unlikely given the options reportedly available.
