Bournemouth’s Hamed Traore has been linked with a move to West Ham over the past couple of weeks and he’s now attracting interest from Sunderland.
The attacking midfielder made a mark during his loan spell at Auxerre in the 2024/25 season. He scored ten goals and assisted twice and this has made him a target for multiple clubs in Italy and France.
Corriere dello Sport report Sunderland, Fiorentina, Parma and Marseille are interested in the Ivorian, with Bournemouth looking to part ways with him this summer.
The newspaper believe the Cherries are trying to spark an auction for the 25-year-old, and an unnamed French club are said to have unsuccessfully offered €12m.
Sunderland having been promoted to the Premier League means their finances are stronger than the other clubs in the chase, which is giving Bournemouth an excuse to nudge the price higher.
The Black Cats not being afraid to spend big has already been clear this summer.
