Burkina Faso centre-forward Bassirou Compaoré is being linked with a move from North Macedonian side Struga to Maltese Premier League club Valletta, with the 28-year-old potentially available as a free agent.
Transfermarkt data lists Compaoré’s market value at €450,000 and notes no fixed contract expiry date at Struga Trim & Lum, fuelling suggestions in Malta and North Macedonia that Valletta could try to secure the striker without a transfer fee. The reported probability of the deal remains unclear and is currently marked as “?”.
Compaoré, who wears the number 33 shirt for Struga and stands at 1.88m, is a right-footed centre-forward whose profile has grown in the Macedonian Prva Liga. Born in Ouagadougou on 23 April 1998, he represents Burkina Faso and has built a reputation as a physically imposing attacking option through his time in North Macedonia.
In his latest outing for Struga in the Prva Liga on 27 June 2026, Compaoré featured in their match against domestic opposition, with the fixture forming part of Struga’s push in the Macedonian top flight. While individual statistics from that game are not detailed in the available data, his continued involvement underlines his status as a regular option in attack. The match ended with Struga involved in league action as they prepare for the next phase of their campaign.
Valletta, who compete in the Maltese Premier League Closing Round, are looking to reshape their forward line and see Compaoré’s age profile and valuation as an attainable target. If a deal is completed, the move would offer the Burkinabe striker a fresh platform in Mediterranean football and an opportunity to enhance his reputation in a new league at a pivotal stage of his career.
