Lille in talks for Adama Traore

Radio Monte Carlo has learned that Lille are in advanced talks to sign Middlesbrough forward Adama Traore.

Les Dogues head coach Marcelo Bielsa hopes to add the 21-year-old to his ranks and the player has already agreed personal terms with the Ligue 1 side.

Meanwhile, Lille have offered €10 million for his services, but Boro are holding out for €15 million.

The talks will continue over the next few days and an agreement could be reached by the end of the week.

Adama Traore hasn’t quite managed to impress at Aston Villa and Middlesbrough, but Marcelo Bielsa clearly believes the La Masia graduate has the potential to develop into a quality footballer.
