New right-back candidate for Barça: Rennes captain Hamari Traoré
The 30 year old right-back is one of the options for Blaugrana management to reinforce the defence, according to Foot Mercato.
FC Barcelona are still scouting the market to reinforce the right-back position before the end of the summer. Juan Foyth, Thomas Meunier, Héctor Bellerín and Vanderson are some of the names linked with the Blaugrana recently. Foot Mercato have added a new name to the list: Hamari Traoré.
At 30 years of age, and with more than 200 games of experience in the top tier of French football, the Malian is returning off a good season 2021/22 (three goals and eleven assists).
The Rennes captain is a far more affordable option - his market value is 10 million euros - than some of the others.
Jordi Cruyff, according to Foot Mercato, is the main supporter of Hamari Traoré. The right-back is still at Rennes after a busy summer, in which he attracted interest from Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany and Crystal Palace in England.
