Reports: Liverpool priced out of a move for £135 million rated EPL star Adama Traore

According to The Times, EPL side Wolves have slapped a mammoth £135 million asking price on Adama Traore, who has emerged as a target for Liverpool.

The 24-year-old has enjoyed a sublime season for the West Midlands side and played a pivotal role in their push for a spot in Europe. With four goals and 11 assists across all competitions, Traore has been a key player for Nuno Espirito Santo and could secure a big-money move this summer.

However, newly crowned EPL champions Liverpool have been priced out of a move for the Spaniard, as Wolves look set to stand their ground and refuse to part with their star man. The Reds have not firmed up their interest and are unlikely to offer anywhere close to his asking price.

Due to the financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak, the Merseyside outfit are expected to have a quiet summer.

Adama Traore has been in stunning form this season

Having already missed out on Timo Werner to fellow EPL side Chelsea, Jurgen Klopp has indicated that the Reds will not spend over the odds this summer, much like what was the case last season.

Liverpool added just Harvey Elliot, Sepp van den Berg and Adrian in 2019 after winning the UEFA Champions League, much to the astonishment of fans across the world. However, Klopp's side raced off the tracks and dominated the 2019-20 EPL season, as they won the title with seven games to spare.

The German tactician, however, did not rule out potential incomings altogether. Aside from Traore, Liverpool have been linked with Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara.

The Spaniard maestro has less than a year left on his contract and looks set to leave the club this summer, with the Reds leading the race to secure his signature.

Thiago reportedly has his heart set on a move to the reigning EPL champions and is eager to work under Klopp.
