Olympique de Marseille have expressed interest in acquiring Ivorian international Hamed Junior Traoré, following an impressive season at Auxerre.
The forward has already netted six goals, showcasing his potential after stints in Serie A.
Traoré’s recent performances in Ligue 1 have seen him flourish in a more advanced role, which has allowed his attacking talents to shine.
Giovanni Rossi, Marseille’s sporting director, has commended the 23-year-old for his versatility, highlighting his ability to adapt to different positions on the pitch.
With Roberto De Zerbi’s future at the club potentially influencing the decision, Traoré is considered an ideal target for Marseille as they seek to bolster their midfield.

Marseille are actively pursuing a strengthened squad for the upcoming season, and Traoré’s profile aligns perfectly with their needs, combining offensive creativity and tactical flexibility.
Should De Zerbi remain in charge, a summer move to the French club could be on the horizon for the promising Ivorian.
