Antwerp is showing interest in acquiring Lassina Traoré, a Burkinese international who currently plays for Shakhtar Donetsk. Traoré, who was previously recruited to Ajax by Marc Overmars, is reportedly open to the move. Despite this, Shakhtar's coach, Arda Turan, is keen on retaining him. Antwerp has put forward an offer of approximately 2.5 million EUR for Traoré, although his market value is believed to be around 4 million EUR. While no agreement has been reached yet, discussions are continuing. Traoré made the move from Ajax to Shakhtar Donetsk in 2021 for an estimated 10 million EUR and has managed to score 24 goals in 96 matches, even while facing injury setbacks. With his contract in Ukraine due to expire in a year, there is a sense of urgency in the transfer talks. Antwerp is hoping to close the deal soon, as they intend for Traoré to compete with Vincent Janssen in the forward position.
