Deportivo approach free agent Adama Traore

Deportivo La Coruna have reportedly opened discussions with free agent Adama Traore over a possible summer transfer.

The newly promoted La Liga club are searching for an experienced right winger, and the former Barcelona player has emerged as an attractive option.

Traore became available after leaving West Ham when his contract expired. That status makes him an appealing target for Deportivo, who could add a proven player without paying a transfer fee. However, the financial demands surrounding the deal could still prove difficult to overcome.

According to Diario AS, Traore’s proposed signing bonus and salary expectations will be central to the negotiations. Deportivo must decide whether the winger’s experience and attacking ability fit within their budget as they prepare for life back in Spain’s top division.

The club have already made several ambitious additions this summer, including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and appear eager to strengthen further before the transfer window closes. Traore’s pace, power and direct style could give Deportivo another dangerous outlet on the flank.

For now, talks remain exploratory rather than advanced. Both parties will need to find common ground on the player’s financial package before a formal agreement can take shape. Deportivo’s interest nevertheless signals their intention to compete seriously after securing promotion.
