However, the club will need to think again having been rebuffed with their initial offer of \u00a315 million.<\/p>\n<h3>Wolves Value Traore at \u00a320 Million<\/h3>\n<p>Despite Wolves not wanting to sell the player and Lage saying that Traore wants to stay at the club, the Wolves boss is also aware that every player has a price. It appears from John Percy\u2019s report that this is around \u00a320 million, and therefore Spurs\u2019 opening bid, if that is what it proves to be, is at least \u00a35 million short of the asking price.<\/p>\n<p>How soon the London club will return with another offer is yet to be seen and it is also unclear if they will need to sell players before they can increase the financial stakes of this deal to a level that would make Wolves consider doing business.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"vzvV8AGXTLd_SSM400I8DQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1365000565\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'vzvV8AGXTLd_SSM400I8DQ',sig:'ZfUEiL0ekMhMI75z5Q1IyQa6dgTGo9wVqhHdTxJuHE4=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1365000565',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Percy of The Telegraph has reported that Tottenham Hotspur&#8216;s initial Adama Traore bid has been rejected by Wolverhampton Wanderers.
