The future of Lacina Traoré remains uncertain, with conflicting possibilities arising from his loan spell at Everton and his parent club, AS Monaco. While Traoré impressed at Everton despite limited appearances due to injury, Roberto Martinez has expressed interest in retaining him for the next season, especially if Everton qualifies for European competitions. Martinez sees Traoré as a valuable addition to the team, offering a different dimension to their attack.
However, returning to Monaco might not guarantee Traoré significant playing time, as the club already boasts several options in the attacking department. Monaco’s priorities lie in strengthening their squad to compete with PSG, and they may be looking for a world-class striker to support Falcao. With the presence of other forwards like Germain, Rivière, Ocampos, Martial, and Berbatov, Traoré’s opportunities at Monaco could be limited.
Ultimately, Traoré’s future will depend on various factors, including Everton’s European qualification and Monaco’s transfer plans. Discussions between Traoré, Everton, and Monaco will likely determine the next chapter of his career.
