Traore, Issa
– Djoliba AC Bamako
+ Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Issa Traore, a talented center-back from Mali, will join Bayer 04 Leverkusen – but not until January 2026. The 16-year-old junior national team player has agreed to a future collaboration with the reigning German champions after Traore impressed with strong performances at the 2023 U-17 World Cup. The move to Germany is expected to take place shortly after his 18th birthday in November 2025.
