Wolves eye Dybala as Adama Traore replacement?

Wolverhampton Wanderers reportedly identify Paulo Dybala as an ideal replacement for Adama Traore, with Dybala's Juventus one of the teams keen on the Spaniard.

Wolverhampton Wanderers will reportedly look to make an audacious swoop for Juventus forward Paulo Dybala should Adama Traore head for the Molineux exit door.

Traore has struggled for starts under Nuno Espirito Santo this season and is believed to have been left angry with the West Midlands outfit over their latest contract offer.

The 24-year-old is tied down to Wolves until 2023, but owing to his breakthrough season in the Premier League last term, Traore will not be short of suitors if he considers a move elsewhere.

Wolves reportedly have their eye on a big-name superstar as a potential replacement for Traore, with Calciomercato claiming that Dybala is firmly on the radar of the West Midlands outfit, with Juventus one of the teams keen to sign Traore.

Santo's side would not have to worry about money either, as the report also claims that Bayern Munich - another side keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Traore - are willing to fork out a staggering €80m (£71.7m) for the Spain international's signature.

Dybala has been hit with injuries during the early stages of the 2020-21 campaign and has only started two top-flight games for Juventus this term, but the 27-year-old amassed 17 goals and 14 assists in all competitions for the Italian champions last season.
