Paris FC reach agreement with Real Sociedad for Hamari Traoré | OneFootball

According to a report from Foot Mercato, Paris FC have reached a total agreement with Real Sociedad for the transfer of Hamari Traoré (33), with the newly promoted side winning a race that saw multiple Ligue 1 teams interested in the former Stade Rennais captain.

Paris’s interest in the fullback appeared to wane during the summer, despite at one point looking close to securing his signature. There were reports that the club’s minority owner, Red Bull, had put the brakes on the deal, due to the experienced fullback not fitting their wish for a younger profile of player.

However, Paris returned strong, beating OGC Nice (who lost interest due to the collapse of Jonathan Clauss’s move to Bayer Leverkusen) and Lille OSC, as well as Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg, and an unnamed La Liga side to the punch.

Traoré is expected in the capital tonight, where he will sign a contract lasting until 2027 (with an option for an extra year) before joining up with a squad still searching for its first top-flight win, having lost its opening games to Angers SCO (1-0) and Olympique de Marseille (5-2).
