Marcelo Bielsa is keen on improving his attacking options this summer and he is looking to sign the 25-year old before the transfer window closes.
However, the report from Castles adds that Traore is keen on joining a club that is capable of offering him Champions League football. The player sees a transfer to Leeds as a sideways move.
The report also adds that a late move from Tottenham Hotspur would not be surprising either because the newly appointed Spurs manager Nuno Espirito Santo is a fan of the 25-year-old winger.
Spurs could use a direct attacker like him next season and the Spaniard could replace Erik Lamela in the squad.
Traore had a mediocre season last year but there is no doubt that the £30 million asking price could look like a bargain if he manages to recapture this sharpness and confidence.
Leeds will need to add more quality to their attack but the signing of Traore could be slightly surprising because the Spaniard operates in the right-wing position and Leeds already have Raphinha occupying that role.
The Brazilian winger joined Leeds last summer and he has been sensational for the Whites so far.
Perhaps a move for Traore shows that Leeds might be open to a tactical switch next season.
It remains to be seen whether the Elland Road outfit can agree on a fee with Wolves now and convince the player to join them.
