Juventus Turin continues its fervent interest in Daouda Traoré, the 17-year-old prodigy who recently made his professional debut in the Coupe de France’s round of 16 against Montpellier. The young midfielder, with triple nationality (France, Mali, Senegal), is hailed as one of the most promising talents within OGC Nice.
Despite playing for the Nice U19s, Traoré’s unique skill set has garnered attention, making him a sought-after asset for the Côte d’Azur club. Juventus made a winter attempt to secure his signature, submitting an offer surpassing 8 million euros.
However, Nice rejected the bid, expressing their determination to retain the rising star by proposing a long-term contract.
According to reliable sources, Juventus is poised to return this summer with an enhanced offer, coupled with compelling sporting assurances, in a bid to secure Traoré’s services.
The Bianconeri face competition from English giants, Manchester United and Chelsea FC, both closely monitoring the burgeoning talent.
While Traoré has attracted widespread interest, Florent Ghisolfi, the Sporting Director of OGC Nice, has taken a proactive stance to navigate the player’s future.
Despite closing the door on his departure during the winter transfer window, Ghisolfi is reportedly engaging in intensified discussions concerning Traoré’s prospects.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the Nice offices anticipate heightened activity, with Traoré’s situation likely to be a focal point of negotiations.
The talented midfielder’s journey has become a compelling storyline, with European football giants vying for the opportunity to nurture and develop his burgeoning potential.
