Heidenheim pushing to sell Traoré before contract expires

The German born defender of Togolese descent is expected to leave Heidenheim no later than next summer.

Sky Germany is informed that Omar Traoré does not want to extend his expiring contract with 1.FC Heidenheim.

A winter transfer could be on the cards given this would be Heidenheim’s last chance to receive a transfer fee.

Traoré had largely featured as a right-back in Frank Schmidt’s team, providing 2 assists in 12 Bundesliga matches thus far. 

The fleet-footed player can also play in a more advanced right midfield role and is valued at €4million by Transfermarkt.com. 

Traoré joined on a free transfer from VfL Osnabrück in 2023 and has played a total of 88 games in all competitions for Heidenheim.
