OGC Nice interested in Marseille’s Hamed Junior Traoré

OGC Nice interested in Marseille’s Hamed Junior Traoré Hamed Junior Traoré (26) is being heavily linked with an exit from Olympique de Marseille, despite his move to the club only being made permanent this summer. OGC Nice have now emerged as a contender for his signature, as per a report from  La Provence . Traoré joined OM from AFC Bournemouth last summer on a loan deal that included an obligation to make the move permanent, in the event that certain conditions were met. Traoré is indeed set to make the move to the Vélodrome permanent for a reported fee of €7.5m. However, his stay may be a short one.  He endured a tough season at Marseille. It was a campaign blighted by injuries, which limited him to just 19 games for  Les Phocéens  in all competitions. In that time, he scored three goals and registered two assists.  As per  Gianluca Di Marzio,  Genoa are interested in the forward, but they may face competition from Ligue 1. Both Nice and AJ Auxerre, who had Traoré on loan the previous season, are closely following the situation. The latter, La Provence  added, may have even submitted a loan offer.  GFFN | Luke Entwistle
