Paris FC, who secured promotion to Ligue 1 for the upcoming 2025-2026 season, is actively engaged in strengthening its squad through the transfer market. “Les Parisiens” have been linked with several players, including Lucas Stassin from Saint-Étienne and Gaëtan Perrin of Auxerre, and are reportedly in advanced negotiations for Union Saint-Gilloise striker Promise David. However, these potential acquisitions are not the only targets on the club`s list.
According to recent reports, Hamari Traoré, the 33-year-old former captain of Stade Rennais and current defender for Real Sociedad, has emerged as a prominent target for the capital club during the current summer transfer window.
The ownership group, led by Arnault / Red Bull, sees Traoré as a valuable option, offering significant experience at a potentially low cost. This aligns with their strategy to build a competitive top-flight squad effectively without excessive spending. With just one year remaining on his contract with the Spanish club, the Mali international could be available for a modest transfer fee.
Discussions regarding a possible transfer for Traoré have reportedly been underway for several days, although detailed specifics of the negotiations have not yet been disclosed.
This season, Traoré made 13 appearances for Real Sociedad. He joined the Basque side in 2023 after a successful six-year tenure at Rennes, where he was a crucial player and served as the team`s captain.
