Traore agrees Marseille loan

Bournemouth's Hamed Junior Traore has agreed to join Marseille on a loan with option to move permanently for €7.5m (£6.5m).

The option of the permanent move is practically mandatory or an 'obligation' as the triggers are likely to be hit - with one being Marseille need to avoid relegation.

Traore joined Bournemouth in January 2023 on loan from Italian side Sassuolo before a permanent deal worth about £20m was agreed that summer.

The 25-year-old has since had loan spells at Napoli and Auxerre and has made 14 appearances in all competitions for the Cherries, scoring once.
