After their takeover of Paris FC, the Arnault family and Red Bull want to take advantage of this winter transfer window to mark the occasion. With a view to securing promotion to Ligue 1, the name of Jonathan Ikoné is circulating internally.
Paris FC has entered a new dimension since the takeover of the club by the Arnault family, associated with Red Bull. It is undeniable that with such a desire to make the Parisian club a new benchmark in France, it will be necessary to align its sporting ambitions with reality. Thanks to its very good first half of the season, the PFC currently occupies second place in the Ligue 2 standings, tied with leader Lorient. However, the fight is great since only five points separate the Parisians from seventh place. To give themselves the right to dream of moving up, the club's new owners want to strike hard by taking advantage of the winter transfer window to attract new players recognized in France, or even beyond. In this sense, the name of Jonathan Ikoné is very popular within the club.
Ikoné, the Bondynois returning to Paris?
According to information from Foot MarketParis FC would have set its sights on Jonathan Ikoné. The player trained at Paris Saint-Germain and passed through LOSC is currently playing at Fiorentina. Due to a mixed start to the season (4 goals and 1 assist in 21 appearances in all competitions), the Bondynois wishes to leave the Viola. Recently, rumors surfaced of interest from FC Nantes in the 26-year-old striker.
However, the amount to be paid somewhat cooled the Canaries' enthusiasm. Still according to FM, Fiorentina is asking for at least 8 million euros to let their player leave. A boon for a neo-rich like Paris FC. However, competition is tough on the file. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have also expressed interest in Jonathan Ikoné. If the PFC offers itself the experienced French international, it will be a huge blow, as AS Monaco was able to do when it was bought at the start of the 2010 decade.
