Feyenoord are reportedly in discussions with Wolverhampton Wanderers regarding the potential transfer of midfielder Boubacar Traoré as the Dutch club looks to strengthen their squad with a ‘controller’ before the window closes. Voetbal International has revealed that Traoré features prominently on Feyenoord’s list of targets, prompting them to approach Wolves about a possible move for the player.
Originally arriving at Wolves on loan from Metz in September 2022, Traoré’s transfer to the club was made permanent last summer in a deal worth €11m. Despite showing promise, the 23-year-old has struggled to establish himself at Molineux, managing just 38 appearances across two seasons.
Under the management of Gary O’Neil, Traoré has yet to earn any playing time this season, raising speculation about his future at the club. His lack of game time in recent matches, including being omitted from the squad for the defeat against Arsenal and serving as a benchwarmer in the 6-2 loss to Chelsea, suggests that he may be surplus to requirements.
In the previous season, Traoré racked up a total of 27 appearances in various competitions but played just 997 minutes in total, starting a mere seven games in the Premier League. This limited game time seems to have caught the attention of Feyenoord, leading to their inquiry about the midfielder’s availability and a potential transfer agreement.
While the details of the potential deal remain undisclosed, Feyenoord’s interest in Traoré indicates that they see potential in the player and are keen on securing his services. With the transfer window deadline looming, Traoré’s future at Wolves appears uncertain, with Feyenoord closely monitoring the situation as they consider adding him to their squad.
