Seemingly so.
This is what the local paper was saying in mid-December:
"Boubacar Traore's loan at Wolves is set to be made permanent as clauses in the deal to bring him to Molineux are to be triggered, the Express & Star understands.
Wolves signed the 21-year-old in the dying hours of the summer transfer window on a season-long loan from French club Metz, with a £9.5million option to buy him next summer.
However, Wolves also confirmed that the loan would automatically become permanent if certain clauses were triggered.
Now, the Express & Star understands that the £9.5million deal is set to be triggered on his appearances in a Wolves shirt. The number of appearances needed is understood to be very low and it is a matter of when, and not if, Traore signs permanently.
The midfielder has already played nine games for Wolves and with the second half of the season to come, it is expected to be a formality that he stays with the club."

I think we can take it that Traore's Agent is Jorge Mendes, so that the player's contract with Wolves was negotiated by him and he gets a cut when the deal becomes permanent.
I mean, lots of people feel that Mendes virtually runs the club, or their Recruitment operation, at least:

No prizes for guessing who Matt Doherty's Agent is...
