Traore netted eight goals and provided four assists in 32 appearances last season and is a very highly rated young player. Speaking to Corriere dello Sport, Carnevali confirmed the ‘request’ from Leeds, but also stated his desire to keep some of their best players.
He said: “We have received a request [from Leeds], but I repeat, we will not sell all of them.”
