Crystal Palace Set To Strike A Historic Deal With Bournemouth For their Sensational Midfielder Ahead of Summer transfer
Crystal Palace are looking to snap up Hamed Traore on loan from Bournemouth when the transfer window opens.
Traore made the move to Italian giants Napoli in the winter transfer window this year, joining the club on a loan deal.
While there is an option to buy in the agreement, set at around the €25m mark, it is tough for the Italians to do the deal and the clause is not expected to be triggered.
The attacking midfielder is expected to return to Bournemouth when the Italian season concludes, but he could soon be on the move again.
Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace want Traore, according to Italian broadcaster Sportitalia, and are intending to swoop for him.
The Eagles are looking to strike a loan deal with Bournemouth for the Ivory Coast international.
Glasner is looking to strengthen the Crystal Palace squad over the summer and it would appear Traore fits the bill for the Austrian.
The 24-year-old has turned out nine times for Napoli in Serie A since he joined, as well as appearing in the Champions League last 16 tie against Barcelona.

Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola addresses Jaidon Anthony’s future and Leeds United loan struggle
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits he is looking forward to welcoming Jaidon Anthony back to the Vitality Stadium after a testing season with Leeds United. It’s fair to say Anthony would have hoped to play more of a key role under Daniel Farke at Elland Road when he made the loan move from Bournemouth on the final day of the summer transfer window as part of a deal that saw Luis Sinisterra go the other way.
The winger has made 36 appearances for the Whites in all competitions this season and could well feature this evening as Farke’s side aim to book their place in the Championship play-off final at Wembley Stadium later this month. However, Anthony has made just two league starts for the club, with his game time often being limited to just a few minutes off the bench.
Anthony has struggled to make a lasting impact in White as a result and the form of Crysensio Summerville, Dan James and Wilfried Gnonto hasn’t helped, either, with the 24-year-old finding himself rooted down the pecking order. As it stands he is due to return to his parent club at the end of the campaign and while a spot in the Bournemouth line-up next season looks far from being a given, Iraola is keen to welcome him back into the Cherries fold.
“He is a player I like a lot,” the Bournemouth boss, who was on Leeds’ radar last year following the sacking of Jesse Marsch, told the Daily Echo. “His attitude, how he understands everything we try to tell him.
