Burkina Faso right winger Bertrand Traoré of Sunderland is being linked with a move to Dutch giants Ajax, with the Eredivisie club reportedly monitoring the 30-year-old’s situation ahead of a possible summer swoop.
Traoré, who is valued at €4.00m on Transfermarkt, is listed without a confirmed contract expiry date at Sunderland, fuelling suggestions he could be available on a cut‑price deal or even move on as a free agent if his terms are close to running down or have already expired. The reported probability of a transfer remains unclear, with the speculation currently rated as “?”.
The former Lyon and Aston Villa forward has been operating primarily as an attacking right winger for Sunderland, wearing the number 25 shirt and cutting in from the flank onto his favoured left foot. Standing at 1.81m and born in Bobo‑Dioulasso on 6 September 1995, Traoré brings significant top‑level and European experience that would appeal to Ajax as they seek to refresh their wide options.
In his most recent outing for Sunderland, Traoré featured in a Premier League fixture against [opponent not specified in available data] earlier this month, on June 16, 2026, with the match finishing [scoreline not specified in available data]. He completed the game on the right side of attack, contributing with his work rate and link-up play but without registering a goal or assist, underlining the mixed nature of his recent form.
Traoré holds only Burkinabè nationality, according to the latest data, and remains an established figure from Burkina Faso on the European stage. With Sunderland competing in the Premier League and Ajax looking to regain domestic and European momentum in the Eredivisie, any agreement would represent another cross‑border move in a career already marked by stints in several major leagues.
Should a deal materialise, a switch to Amsterdam would offer Traoré the chance to re-establish himself at a high-profile European club and potentially reshape the final phase of his career.
