Transfer market: Hamed Traoré opens up about his future

In recent hours, Ivorian international Hamed Traoré has spoken out. The player addressed his likely transfer this summer.

With 10 goals and 2 assists this year during his loan spell at Auxerre, Hamed Traoré has established himself as one of the breakout stars of the league. In recent weeks, several rumors have been circulating: interest from Fiorentina, as well as Nice, West Ham, Atalanta, and Bologna.

In the past few hours, several media outlets have also reported interest from OM, which the player was asked to comment on during an interview with Corriere dello Sport: "Will I stay at Bournemouth? We'll see. I’ve just finished an important season, I want to make the most of what I’ve learned and keep progressing."

Asked again about the rumored interest from OM and Fiorentina, he stated that he has no preference: "A preference? None. I want to play for a club that believes in me. And if I leave, I’d like it to be a permanent transfer. Do I miss Serie A? Yes, but I also felt very good in Ligue 1."
