Hamed Traoré’s scintillating form in Ligue 1 has made him one of the most sought-after players in France.
The 24-year-old Bournemouth loanee, currently shining at AJ Auxerre, has emerged as a top target for AS Monaco.
Traoré has been a revelation during his loan spell, netting six domestic goals and driving Auxerre’s attacking engine with his intelligence, ball progression, and eye for goal. His standout performances have not only propelled Auxerre’s campaign but also caught the attention of Ligue 1’s heavyweights.
According to RMC Sport, Bournemouth, who sent Traoré on loan without a purchase option, are holding firm at a €25 million asking price. While multiple Ligue 1 clubs are reportedly interested, Monaco is the first to be officially linked.
Having experienced loans at Napoli and Auxerre, and playing a key role in Empoli’s Serie B promotion, Traoré’s rise has been remarkable. If Monaco pushes ahead, the Principality club could gain a dynamic attacking midfielder to bolster their ambitions, with Auxerre and Bournemouth set to cash in on his meteoric rise.
