Monaco enter the race for Hamed Traoré as Bournemouth name their asking price | OneFootball

In just over a dozen Ligue 1 fixtures, Hamed Traoré’s (24) stock has seemingly skyrocketed, with numerous clubs interested in his services.

The attacking midfielder from the Ivory Coast has been a sensation during his current loan spell at AJ Auxerre, leading the team with six domestic goals this season.

His intelligence, ball progression, and nose for the goal have been invaluable to the Burgundy club and put him on the radar of several teams.

Among them are AS Monaco, who have been closely following the Bournemouth loanee during his time in the French top flight.

Bournemouth loaned him out to SSC Napoli in Serie A last season before striking up a one-year loan deal with Auxerre this past summer, while the Ivorian was also a part of Empoli’s promotion into the Italian Serie B in 2017-18.

When his loan deal with Auxerre was made in August, it came with a no-purchase clause.

RMC Sport reports that The Cherries want a minimum of €25m to sell him, with several Ligue 1 sides interested in acquiring him, though only Les Monégasques were officially mentioned.
