Amadou Soumaré, young Malian talent targeted?

Olympique de Marseille, under the leadership of its coach Roberto De Zerbi, could soon welcome a young talent from Mali. Amadou Soumaré, a 20-year-old attacking midfielder playing for Djoliba AC, is attracting growing interest from several European clubs, including OM. According to information from Africafoot, the young prodigy should go to France in December to undergo trials with the Marseille club.

Soumaré is a true technical leader within the Djoliba AC. During the previous season in Malian Ligue 1, he achieved a remarkable performance by scoring 9 goals and providing 7 assists in 19 matches. His ability to stand out on the pitch with his audacity and precision on free kicks does not leave European recruiters indifferent. At only 20 years old, he already appears to be a nugget with great potential, whose future seems to be written far from his current club.
