# Newcastle: Magpies ‘remain interested’ in Adama Traore

**[Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) ‘remain interested’ in signing Wolves forward and Barcelona loanee Adama Traore, claims 90min journalist Graeme Bailey.**

### **The Lowdown: Traore to leave Wolves**

The Spain international spent the second half of the 2021/22 campaign in La Liga, after he [joined his boyhood club Barcelona on loan](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12526786/adama-traore-barcelona-re-sign-forward-from-wolves-on-loan-until-end-of-season-with-option-to-buy) until the end of the season.

However, it appears that the Catalan giants are [not going to trigger the option to buy clause](https://www.90min.com/posts/tottenham-leeds-newcastle-remain-interested-in-adama-traore) in the 26-year-old’s contract, which requires a [£29m transfer fee](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12526786/adama-traore-barcelona-re-sign-forward-from-wolves-on-loan-until-end-of-season-with-option-to-buy).

Therefore, Traore will return to the Molineux Stadium ahead of next season.

### **The Latest: Newcastle remain interested**

Taking to Twitter, 90min journalist [Graeme Bailey](https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey/status/1531951650306461698) has revealed that “Tottenham, Leeds and Newcastle all remain interested in Adama Traore.”

In the adjacent article, [Bailey claims](https://www.90min.com/posts/tottenham-leeds-newcastle-remain-interested-in-adama-traore) that Wolves will now turn their attention to offloading the Spaniard on a permanent deal.

It is understood that Newcastle previously enquired about the 26-year-old’s services.

### **The Verdict: Great signing**

Dubbed by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp as [“unplayable”](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jurgen-klopp-adama-traore-liverpool-20186548), with the German further claiming that “the speed of Traore is actually [undefendable](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jurgen-klopp-adama-traore-liverpool-20186548) in moments”, the winger will certainly be on a whole host of [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) shopping lists this summer.

As per [FB Ref](https://fbref.com/en/players/9a28eba4/Adama-Traore), the Wolves forward ranks in the 99th percentile for dribbles completed and in the 97th percentile for progressive carries when compared with positional peers across Europe over the past year.

With Eddie Howe [targeting direct attackers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/bayer-leverkusen-reluctant-sell-moussa-diaby-newcastle-united-record-transfer-eddie-howe/), Adama’s strength and speed fits Newcastle’s criteria perfectly. Therefore, with PIF already having made contact, this could be a great and realistic signing for the Tyneside club, but it won’t come without strong competition.
