Mercato: A Libyan club emerges in the race to sign Bertrand Traoré

Bertrand Traoré remains a free agent since his contract with Sunderland ended, and now he's facing a new offer: Asswehly, the Libyan club that has qualified for the CAF Champions League.

The transfer market is heating up around Bertrand Traoré. The 30-year-old Burkinabé winger, whose contract recently expired with Sunderland, has become a target for several clubs. Trabzonspor and Ajax Amsterdam have been tracking his situation for weeks, but now a new and unexpected rival has entered the race.

According to Africafoot, Asswehly has gone on the offensive. The Libyan club, set to compete in the CAF Champions League, is aiming to make a major splash. To convince the former Aston Villa and Ajax Amsterdam star, Asswehly officials are reportedly preparing to offer a salary of up to $5 million per season—an eye-watering offer that could change everything.
