June 26, 2026 · Global
Genoa made contact with Marsiglia to consider the purchase of Hamed Junior Traorè, a versatile forward with experience in Serie A.
While waiting for confirmation of Baldanzi's purchase, Genoa are now turning their attention to strengthening their attack line by considering Hamed Junior Traorè. According to a report from Sky Sport, the team based at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris has made the 23 year old player who previously played in Serie A with Empoli, Sassuolo and Napoli their main target.
Genoa have made initial contact with Marsiglia to explore a possible deal to bring in Traorè. Players who have the ability to play in various positions, including as midfielders, wingers and playmakers, are expected to make significant contributions to the team. Traorè, who once won the Serie B title, also has experience playing at clubs such as Auxerre and Bournemouth.
In addition, he has appeared 11 times with the Ivory Coast national team, scoring 2 goals. With the presence of Daniele De Rossi as coach, it is hoped that Traorè can rediscover his best form after several years full of twists and turns.
