Professional career
Traorè made his professional debut with Parma in a 2-1 Coppa Italia loss to S.S. Lazio on 21 January 2021.[1] On 10 April 2021 he made his Serie A debut in a 1-3 loss against AC Milan; he also became the first 2004-born player to play in Serie A.[2]
On 30 August, 2021 he moved to Serie A club AC Milan, immediately joining the youth sector roster.[3]
Personal life
Born in Ivory Coast, he moved to Italy where he grew up.[2]
In 2015 he took a small boat from Africa's north coast with the aim to reach Italy. Once in Italy, Traorè and his agent, who was later found guilty of assisting illegal immigration, were headed to Parma. Traorè was traveling under a false name and was listed as Cissè in his passport. In Italy, the then 11-year-old took on various part-time jobs to survive before he finally was discovered by U.S. Audace—a prominent academy club in the provincial capital.[4]
