Adama Traore Set for Move as Wolves Break Transfer Record to Meet £18m Release Clause

Wolverhampton Wanderers are poised to break their transfer record again this summer, having met Adama Traore's release clause at Middlesbrough, per the BBC's David Ornstein.

Ruben Neves, who was brought in for £16m last summer, is the club's record signing. But Traore's transfer fee will eclipse that, with the Premier League newcomers set to add yet another piece in what has been an active window on their end.

Middlesbrough winger Adama Traore will undergo medical at Wolves tomorrow after £18m release clause met. Arrival of 22yo Spaniard, who has a shoulder injury, will break the club’s transfer record, almost a year to the day after they did so in signing Ruben Neves #WWFC #BORO #MFC
