On Friday, August 29, 2025, Olympique de Marseille officially unveiled their new offensive player, Hamed Junior Traoré. The 25-year-old Ivorian attacking midfielder arrives on a loan with an almost mandatory purchase option from Bournemouth, and he expressed high ambitions. During his press conference, he stated: « I came here because it’s a big club with ambition. I want to do well and stay for a long time. »
Traoré, appreciated for his offensive versatility, is motivated to contribute wherever needed. He is familiar with coach Roberto De Zerbi, who previously trusted him at Sassuolo, and he is ready to face competition within the squad. After a successful season last year at Auxerre (10 goals and 2 assists in 26 matches), he joins OM confident and eager to shine in Ligue 1.
Marseille relies on Traoré to strengthen their attack, especially after losing other offensive players. He will wear the number 20 jersey at the Vélodrome, a shirt with strong significance in the club. The new winger is already available for the match against Lyon, showing the coaching staff’s trust.
With his ambition to stay long-term, Hamed Junior Traoré hopes to become a durable part of Marseille’s project. His presentation marks the official start of this new chapter for the Ivorian international, eagerly awaited by Marseille fans.
