Roberto de Zerbi has not forgotten his good memories of Sassuolo, Italy. And in particular the players who proved to be under his orders at the time … Among them are Hamed Junior Traoré, bought since by Bournemouth for 25 million euros in January 2023. Loaned to Auxerre last season, he became in a few weeks one of the revelations of Ligue 1 (10 goals). And OM would like to try the bet in turn.
An offer of… 12 million euros!
To try to convince Bournemouth, OM has chosen an option… bold! An amount of 12 million euros was submitted to the English club for Hamed Junior Traoré, with some various bonuses. This amount is far from the 20 million euros expected by Bournemouth but the OM is voluntarily lower to start negotiations.
Bournemouth is on fire
On the tablets of Nice and Monaco, Hamed Junior Traoré is now becoming a hot target of OM. And if it will be necessary to enhance the prize to convince Bournemouth, the Marseillais also know that business is working strong for the premier League resident. Huijsen was sold for 62.5 million euros at Real Madrid and Zabarnyi should sign at PSG for 70 to 75 million. Financial income that could help OM get a “good price” for this less expensive file.
