Ivorian midfielder Hamed Junior Traoré ready for new chapter of career at Olympique Marseille

Ivorian midfielder Hamed Junior Traoré is gearing up for the next chapter of his career at Olympique Marseille.

The French Ligue 1 outfit is set to complete the signing of the workaholic midfielder in a move to strengthen their squad.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Traoré will join the Ligue 1 side from Bournemouth in a deal worth €7 million, which also includes a 50% resale clause. The 25-year-old has agreed a contract with Marseille that runs until 2030.

Traoré is no stranger to French football, having impressed last season during a loan spell at Auxerre, where he scored 10 goals and provided 2 assists in 26 appearances.

Marseille see him as a key addition to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the new campaign.

Hamed Junior Traoré’s arrival will provide a major squad boost to the Ligue 1 club as they aim to win a trophy in the 2025/26 football season.
