Telegraaf.nl reports on the transfer of Bertrand Traoré from Ajax to Sunderland. Bertrand Traoré is transferred from Ajax to Sunderland for a fee of 2.5 million euros. The transfer was completed just before the English transfer market closed at 20:00 on Monday. Despite the late attempt by Sunderland, Ajax's Alex Kroes managed to finalize the deal. The transfer includes potential bonuses that could bring Ajax an additional half million euros. Traoré's contract with Ajax was set to expire after this season.

Sunderland is looking to acquire Bertrand Traoré, a 29-year-old winger from Burkina Faso, from Ajax. ESPN's report has been confirmed by sources close to the Amsterdam club. The transfer is seen as challenging due to Sunderland's last-minute approach, with the English transfer window set to close on Monday at 20:00. The club must agree on the transfer fee, complete a medical examination, and finalize the player's contract before the deadline. Alex Kroes is working on closing the deal as Traoré's contract is set to expire after this season. The transfer fee that Ajax stands to receive could potentially be used to bring in Kasper Dolberg from Anderlecht. Transfermarkt lists the player's current market value at €8 million.
