Liverpool have reportedly ended their interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore.

The Spaniard enjoyed a strong campaign at Molineux during the 2019-20 season, registering four goals and nine assists in the Premier League for Nuno Espirito Santo's side as Wolves finished seventh in the table.

Traore has been linked with a host of top European sides following his impressive displays for Wolves, but the West Midlands outfit are supposedly desperate to keep hold of the winger ahead of next season.

According to The Mirror, Jurgen Klopp is now eyeing up other options after Wolves made it clear that Traore is not for sale.

The report claims that the Liverpool manager has now set his sights on Leicester City's Harvey Barnes, with Klopp looking to bolster his attacking options before the Reds look to defend their Premier League title next season.

Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus have all been credited with an interest in Traore in recent months.

Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos during this summer's transfer window.

The 23-year-old has spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan at Arsenal, scoring twice and registering two assists in 35 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions.

The midfielder's existing loan deal at the Emirates Stadium is due to expire next month and as it stands, he will be back at the Bernabeu for the start of next season.

Ceballos is not thought to be in the plans of Los Blancos head coach Zinedine Zidane, though, and is believed to be keen to remain with Mikel Arteta's side next term.

According to Diario Madridista, City are also keeping a close eye on developments and could attempt to bring him to the Etihad Stadium this summer, with head coach Pep Guardiola a keen admirer of his talents.

Ceballos's existing deal at the Bernabeu is due to run until the summer of 2023.
