Mali and Lille

Born in Bamako, Traoré joined his hometown's JMG Academy at the age of 12 in 2007. Five years later he joined Malian Première Division club AS Bakaridjan where he was only able to play three games before he got injured.

In January 2014, Traoré signed for Ligue 1 club Lille and was immediately loaned out to Belgian Second Division club Royal Mouscron-Péruwelz. He made his Ligue 1 debut on 24 September 2014, in a 1–0 away defeat against Nice.[4] On 7 January 2015, he scored his first competitive goal at senior level for Lille in a 1–0 home-league win over Thonon Évian Savoie F. C.[5]

Monaco

[edit]

On 10 July 2015, Traoré joined AS Monaco on a four-year deal worth €14 million.[6] On 4 August, he made his UEFA Champions League debut in a 4–0 win against Young Boys in the third qualifying round, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Mario Pašalić.[7]

In January 2017, Traoré was loaned out until the end of the season to Primeira Liga side Rio Ave FC.[8] He played seven games for the team from Vila do Conde, and scored the only goal of their win at Boavista on 1 April.[9]

In January 2019, he was loaned out for the same duration to Belgian First Division A side Cercle Brugge KSV.[10] On 31 August, he went on a season-long loan to fellow Ligue 1 club Metz.[11] He scored his first goal for them on 23 November, equalising in a 1–1 home draw with Reims.[12]
