Abdou Traoré’s Future at Bordeaux Still Uncertain Amid Injury Concerns
Abdou Traoré, the Malian midfielder, could extend his contract with Bordeaux despite a season plagued by injuries and limited impact on the pitch. The 28-year-old has struggled with consistency this season, with a lack of goals and assists. Nonetheless, Bordeaux manager Willy Sagnol remains hopeful and has expressed his desire for the club to offer Traoré a contract extension.
Traoré has been with the Girondins since 2011, but his career has been hindered by frequent injuries. On average, he has played just 13 matches per season and scored one goal annually. This season, he has featured in 17 Ligue 1 matches, but his contribution has been minimal, with no goals or assists to his name.
Willy Sagnol remains a believer in Traoré’s potential, despite his injury woes, and believes the midfielder still has value for the club. However, with the player’s contract expiring this summer, the decision regarding his future at Bordeaux is still up in the air.
The upcoming months will likely determine whether Abdou Traoré can turn around his fortunes and earn a contract renewal with the Girondins. If he can stay fit and contribute more consistently, there is still a possibility that he will remain at the club for another season.
