Malian international Omar Traoré is making waves across European football, with reports from Bild suggesting that the FC Heidenheim right-back has caught the attention of several top clubs, including RCD Mallorca, Valencia CF, and S.S. Lazio.
The 26-year-old has been a standout performer for Heidenheim, starting nearly all their competitive games this season. His displays against football heavyweights, such as FC Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and Chelsea FC in the Conference League, have solidified his reputation as a reliable and dynamic defender.
Born in France, Traoré is of Malian descent and made his debut for the Mali national team in a 2–1 friendly loss to South Africa on 13 October 2019. His market value, according to Transfermarkt, currently stands at €3.5 million, reflecting his rising profile.
While TSG Hoffenheim reportedly showed interest last summer, a potential move within the Bundesliga or to other European leagues remains on the table. Fans and scouts alike are eagerly watching how the former Osnabrück player’s career unfolds.
