Barcelona 'open talks' with Rennes right-back Traore - 3 things to know

Barcelona have opened talks with Rennes right-back Hamari Traore, per L'Equipe.

Details

The Malian will likely cost about €7m, the source says, although he's valued at €10m on Transfermarkt.

Traore earns about €2m gross per season playing for the Ligue 1 club.

Style

Traore is an attack-minded right-back loaded with power and speed. His ability to overload the flanks is a big asset of his game and this can be seen from his heat map for last season.

Traore covers the length of the pitch and doesn't just hug the flank but moves infield, too.

Stats

Traore is a 30-year-old defender with experience playing in a big league.

Last season he registered 10 assists and helped his team keep 9 clean sheets. His pass accuracy stands at 85% and he averages 1.1 key passes per game.

The defender could be a good addition to Barca and can also be signed on the cheap.
