LIVERPOOL target Adama Traore could be on the move for as little as £20million with Wolves reportedly slashing his asking price.
The Spanish winger was eyed up by Jurgen Klopp in the summer, but the Reds decided against bringing the 25-year-old to Anfield.
According to Football Insider, the Midlands outfit were seeking a fee in the region of £50million.
But with Traore, who is tied down at Molineux until 2023, without a goal or assist from his 14 games this season, Wolves are claimed to have lowered their demands.
The news outlet states that his price tag has dropped to £20m ahead of the winter transfer window.
And they even state that Brino Lage’s side could be prepared to part ways with the ex-Barcelona forward for as low as £18m.
News of his drop in value is said to have put Liverpool on red alert as they weigh up an offer for the eight-cap Spain international.
Wolves are understood to be in need of money as they look to turn Hwang Hee-chan’s loan spell from RB Leipzig into a permanent stay.
Reds gaffer Jurgen Klopp is keen to strengthen his attack in the New Year with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane to feature at the Africa Cup of Nations.
And it is believed that he is keen to sign a ball-carrying forward.
In stats obtained by CIES Football Observatory’s latest research, Traore is the best dribbler in Europe with 11.4 per 100 minutes.
Former Tottenham striker Darren Bent has backed Traore to be a hit in Merseyside if he joins Liverpool in 2022.
Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: “In that team he could be unstoppable.
“His problem is consistency but in that Liverpool team, where they play with a high press and energy, it could be different.”
Arsenal icon Jack Wilshere added: “He’d be unreal.”
