Napoli has set its sights on the highly sought-after Malian international midfielder, Boubacar Traoré, affectionately known as “El Phéno.” Positioned as a potential replacement for Cameroonian maestro André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Traoré’s dynamic playing style has piqued the interest of Italian giants AC Milan and Napoli.
Boubacar Traoré, who made a notable move from FC Metz to Wolverhampton for €11 million in the summer of 2022, is generating considerable attention across Europe.
The 22-year-old midfielder’s profile aligns seamlessly with the aspirations of AC Milan and Napoli, both eager to secure his services, as reported by Africafoot.
The strategic move by Napoli to consider Traoré as a successor to Anguissa underscores the club’s commitment to fortifying its midfield prowess.
While Traoré remains under contract with Wolverhampton until June 2027, with an optional additional year, Napoli is keen on orchestrating a transfer that could see him don the iconic jersey of the Serie A side.
Despite being deemed a pivotal figure in Wolverhampton’s future by the club’s leadership, Traoré, gearing up for participation in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with Mali, is seeking increased playing time to further hone his skills and live up to the high expectations placed upon him.
Having clinched victory in the U20 African Cup of Nations in 2019, Traoré boasts 23 appearances in the English Premier League with one assist to his name.
The young talent, valued at €6 million, according to Transfermarkt specialists, remains a coveted prospect in the ever-evolving landscape of European football.
Napoli’s pursuit of Boubacar Traoré signals a strategic move to secure a rising star and reinforce their midfield for the challenges that lie ahead.
