# Wolves: Adama Traore not holding ‘active contract talks’

**[Wolverhampton Wanderers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) forward [Adama Traore](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/adama-traore/) is not in any ‘active contract talks’ to extend his stay at Molineux, according to journalist [Steve Madeley](https://twitter.com/SteveMadeley78).**

### The Lowdown: Uncertain future

The Old Gold playmaker’s deal is set to [expire](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wolverhampton-wanderers/vertragsende/verein/543) at the end of the season and he is facing an uncertain future having not committed to penning fresh terms in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).

The Spaniard is [reportedly](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/follow-up/wolves-premier-league-adama-traore-spain-transfer-news-updates/) expected to look for a move elsewhere this summer, with one potential suitor’s name having already emerged into the frame.

In February, Napoli were [claimed](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/wolves-adama-traore-latest-transfer-news-rumours-updates/) to be close to agreeing a deal to sign the 27-year-old ahead of the new term, and an update on his stance has now come to light.

### The Latest: Madeley’s update

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/stevemadeley78/status/1632647552670617603?s=46&t=cVYwodEwJ5KqH22eIl4UYA), Madeley revealed that Traore isn’t currently holding negotiations with Wolves over a new deal but hinted that he is in a positive mindset about the future. He wrote:

*“Happier after management change. No active contract talks. Could restart in summer. Previous lucrative offer unlikely to stand. Player wants assurances about a key role.”*

### The Verdict: New contract deserved?

Traore has been [dubbed](https://twitter.com/ftalentscout/status/1210678624740876290?s=46&t=cVYwodEwJ5KqH22eIl4UYA) a ‘beast’ by talent scout [Jacek Kulig](https://twitter.com/FTalentScout) and Wolves offering him improved terms would be nothing less than he deserves.

The Midlands winger has racked up [33](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/204103) goal contributions during his time at the club and currently ranks in the [99th](https://fbref.com/en/players/9a28eba4/Adama-Traore) percentile for successful take-ons by wingers in Europe’s top leagues.

Wanderers’ speed demon is also a hugely valuable player for [Julen Lopetegui](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/julen-lopetegui/) to have in the squad having operated in [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204103) various positions throughout the course of his career.

Traore is certainly a fan favourite at Molineux and Wolves should take the opportunity to tie him down before clubs seriously start sniffing about in a bid to prise him away this summer.
