Newly promoted French Ligue 1 outfit FC Metz have announced the acquisition of Mali international Boubacar Traoré ahead of the 2025/26 football campaign.
The 23-year-old midfielder joins FC Metz on a season-long loan from Premier League club, Wolverhampton Wanderers and is expected to play a huge role for his new club.
Metz are executing an aggressive effort to bolster their squad in an attempt to make a meaningful impact next season. The club seeks to maintain their status in the French top-light and are determined to augment their squad to the brim to compete next season.
Traoré returns to the Moselle side, having previously made 33 appearances for Metz before departing for a loan spell in England in 2022.
His move to Molineux was made permanent in 2023 as Wolverhampton and Metz agreed to a €11m transfer fee.
Traoré remains tied with the Premier League side over a contract set to expire in 2028. Unfortunately, Traoré’s past season with Wolves has been blighted by a serious meniscus injury. He only featured three times for the Molineux side last season
Meanwhile, the Premier League side will cover part of Traoré’s wages throughout the loan spell.
