"I can't talk about contractual situations because it's a private matter," Baster told Spanish publication EFE .

Traore is a Barcelona academy graduate and nearly joined Liverpool back in 2015.

The winger was at a crossroads at the time, as he was too good for Barca's B side but then boss, Luis Enrique, was not prepared to take a chance on him in the first team.

Liverpool passed on the youngster and he ended up joining Aston Villa instead. After leaving the Villans he had two years at Middlesborough before signing for Wolves in 2018, when they trigger the player's £18million release clause.

Traore helped Wolves clinch promotion from the Championship in his debut season but struggled to replicate this form the following year in the Premier League.

However, the Spain Under21 international has been in sublime form this campaign and Wolves are expected to demand a hefty price for a player who has three years remaining on his contract.

"If 'Wolves have no need to sell and receive offers below the value that Adama will have in 2021, it will have no movement in the market," Baster added.

"If Wolves understand that they have to grow by selling or the price they can pay for Adama is attractive enough, he will end up selling. That is a little uncertainty."
