He featured in 27 Premier League games last term, but failed to score once and provided just one assist.
Boro are weighing up options to replace Traore, with Huddersfield Town's Joe Lolley, Marvin Johnson of Oxford United and Liverpool's Ryan Kent among the players on their wishlist.
Kent spent last season on loan at Barnsley, where he was a first-team regular.
The 20-year-old played 44 Championship games, chipping in with three goals and one assist.
