Lille has shown interest in signing Hamari Traoré, joining Niza in the pursuit. The 33-year-old Malian right-back, who is currently with Real Sociedad, has caught the attention of both French clubs following his impressive performance during his first season in Donostia, where he played in 40 matches. Despite suffering a significant injury in his second season, which restricted him to 13 appearances, Traoré's reputation continues to be strong in France. He had initially joined Real Sociedad on a free transfer from Rennes in July 2023. Niza is considering Traoré as a potential replacement for Jonathan Clauss, who has already agreed to move to Bayer Leverkusen. Traoré's contract with the Spanish club is due to expire in June 2026, and his market value is estimated at €2.00 million according to Transfermarkt.
