Malian international Fily Traoré, from Libya's Swehly Sports Club, is a prime target for Moroccan club Wydad Casablanca. The Moroccan club's management is reportedly keen to sign the 23-year-old to strengthen its ranks for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.

According to a source close to the Moroccan club, Wydad Athletic Club's management is impressed by Traoré's performance and is seeking to take official action, given the external factors that will play a major role in the final decision regarding the player's contract, namely whether or not the Libyan league will continue under the current circumstances.

Traoré began his career in 2020 with Malian club Cercle Olympique Bamako, before joining Congolese club TP Mazembe. The player continued to move between several clubs before returning to Mazembe in 2024 and then to Libyan club Asswehly Sports Club.

According to Transfermarkt, Traoré has played 23 matches in all competitions this season, scoring 16 goals and providing 7 assists.
