Wolverhampton Wanderers are not ready to let go of star forwards, Raul Jimenez or Adama Traore this season.

The Daily Star reported that the pair would remain at the Molineux this summer and compete in next season’s Premier League (PL) despite offers from giant PL clubs

Jurgen Klopp wants to bring the £60 million rated winger to Anfield after exploding this season with four goals and seven assists in 28 games.

Manchester United have also targeted Raul Jimenez after an impressive 22 goals and 10 assists in 44 games for the Midlands club this season. According to Tuttosport, a price tag of £53m has been placed on the Mexican although it is subject to reduction due to the crises caused by the coronavirus yet Nuno Espirito Santos is not ready to let the pair depart to jeopardize his expectations ahead of next season.

In an interview granted by the club on his relationship with his potent partner, Jimenez, Traore spoke on their decent connection off the field and how they work hard to achieve results.

“We speak all the time. Before the game, during the game. We talk about what we can do collectively to capitalize on our qualities and do more damage to our opponent. That constant communication is very important,” he told Wolves.co.uk.

“I met Raul here in Wolverhampton, but I saw him play before with the Mexican national team. He is a great striker and a very complete footballer, with many qualities.

“Of course, scoring many goals, but also controlling the ball very well, moving very well on the pitch. He works so hard in every match. He is a great player and it is a pleasure to have him on our side.”

On his progress so far, he commended his manager for the opportunity and disclosed that although his style of play might have changed as people thought yet his mentality is the same.

“Nuno has helped me a lot to improve. People say that I have changed, but I believe that my mentality is the same. I have been playing in various positions this season, winger, forward, striker. The important thing is to improve in each position,” he ended.
