Omar Traoré is being linked with a move from 1.FC Heidenheim 1846 to Bundesliga rivals Union Berlin, according to transfer data circulated in Germany.
The 27-year-old right-back, valued at €4.00m, is listed as a rumoured target for Union, with the speculation emerging from Transfermarkt’s database on 6 December 2025. No fee or contract details are indicated and the probability of the deal is marked only as “?”, underlining that talks, if any, are at a very early and uncertain stage.
Traoré is currently on the books of Heidenheim, where he wears the number 23 shirt and is registered as a right-footed defender. There is no publicly listed contract expiry date in the data provided, leaving open the possibility that he could move either for a transfer fee or, depending on his actual contractual status, potentially as a free agent at some point.
Born in Osnabrück on 4 February 1998, Traoré holds German and Togolese nationality. His path to the Bundesliga has been gradual rather than spectacular, moving through VfL Osnabrück’s youth and under-17 sides before spells with Eintracht Braunschweig U19, SV Rödinghausen, KFC Uerdingen 05 and then returning to VfL Osnabrück. A switch to Heidenheim in 2023 coincided with a sharp rise in his market value, which has climbed from €400,000 in mid-2023 to its current €4.00m as of June 2025.
That steady increase reflects his development in Germany’s professional tiers, including the Bundesliga with Heidenheim. However, the latest data does not provide specific recent match details such as opponents, dates or scorelines, nor individual performance metrics.
If Union Berlin choose to firm up their interest, a move within the Bundesliga could give Traoré a fresh platform at a club with European ambitions and further elevate a career that has already seen a remarkable rise in value and status.
