Paris FC, the club recently promoted to Ligue 1 for the 2025-2026 season, is actively engaging in the transfer market to prepare for their return to the top flight. Known also as Les Parisiens, the club has been linked with several players, including Lucas Stassin from Saint-Étienne and Gaëtan Perrin from Auxerre. Additionally, talks are reportedly advancing for Union Saint-Gilloise striker Promise David, indicating a broad search for new talent.
Among their primary targets for the upcoming summer transfer window is experienced defender Hamari Traoré, aged 33. The former captain of Stade Rennais, currently playing for Real Sociedad, has emerged as a key defensive reinforcement option for the capital club.
The club`s leadership views the Mali international as a valuable, low-cost option bringing significant experience, fitting into Paris FC`s strategy to build a competitive squad efficiently. Traoré`s contract in Spain is set to expire in a year, potentially making him available for a modest transfer fee.
Discussions regarding a potential transfer have reportedly been ongoing for several days, although specific details of the negotiations have not been disclosed. Traoré joined Real Sociedad in 2023 and made 13 appearances for the Basque club during the past season. Before his move to Spain, he spent six successful years at Rennes, where he was a vital player and served as team captain.
