On Tuesday, Traore was selected in Mali's national team for international matches against Ghana and Iran on October 9 and 13.
Both international matches will be played in Turkey.
Traore has also been selected for Spain's Nations League matches against Switzerland (home October 10) and Ukraine (away October 13) and a regular international match against Portugal.
- From what I have understood after talking to the player, he wants to play for Spain, says the Spanish national team captain Luis Enrique according to AP.
Played for Spain's U21 national team
Traore, born in Spain to parents from Mali, has played for Spain in the U21 national team and if he is to play for Mali, he needs a permit from Fifa, which has not been received.
He has said in previous interviews that he wants to play for Spain.
24-year-old Traore appeared in Barcelona's (where he was born) children's and youth team but only played one match for the A-team.
Since 2015, he has played for English clubs.
