Adama Traore (footballer) - player of the national football team of Mali, attacking midfielder of the French football club Monaco.
The beginning of a football career
Born June 28, 1995 in Bamako, Mali. From a young age he fell in love with football and began to seriously engage in it. At the youth football academy, Adam Traore showed good results, he often had a scored goal and several assists. Adam Traore's professional career began at the local club AS Bakaridzhan. There he improved his skills and was an indispensable playmaker for his team. Soon he was noticed by scouts of the famous French club “Lille” and offered him a transfer contract. This was the first professional transfer in Adam's football career - the guy willingly agreed to the terms, without hesitation he signed all the papers that were necessary.
On loan to the "lower division"
In France, he was not deprived of hospitality, and soon Adam Traore tried on a T-shirt of the new club. However, the newcomer did not immediately get into the starting lineup of Lille. Despite the fact that the footballer constantly proved his competence and sports solvency, he still remained a backup player. A few months later, the club management notes that Traore is losing his playing practice, so he is sent to the Belgian club Muskron-Peruwels on a rental basis. Belgium’s second football division for Traore turned out to be the easiest task, it quickly adapted and began to show real mastery of the game. On April 20, 2014, his debut match against the Westerlo team took place, then Traore became a “player of the match”, having given several assists. In the Belgian championship, Adam did not play for long - in July of the same year he returned to the ranks of the French Lille. The debut match took place on September 24 against the Nice team. Then he was completely inconspicuous on the field and failed to impose a dangerous game on the opponent - the French championship was not so “easy”. On January 7, 2015, Adam finally managed to hit the opponent’s goal (debut goal) in the match against the outsider team Evian.
Adama Traore - Monaco makes a purchase offer
The summer transfer of 2015 turned out to be a new adventure for Traore - the football club "Monaco" (France, Ligue 1) made an offer to buy a midfielder. The transfer value of a football player amounted to 17 million dollars. On August 4, 2015, Adam Traore first played in the main squad of Monegasques, coming on as a substitute in the second half. This was the Champions League qualifying round against the Swiss Young Boys. The Malian midfielder managed to score his debut goal for “Monaco” in the 4th round of the French League 1. Then, in the match against the well-known “Lille”, Traore in the brilliant style “unsealed” the opponent’s goal.
