Recruited last summer in Watford, Ismaël Koné should soon be suitable for the side of Olympique de Marseille, which aims Nicolo Fagioli, the midfielder of Juventus, to replace him.
The transfer market will officially close its doors on Monday February 3, and the Ligue 1 clubs are starting to panic to complete their last current files. On the Marseille side, it is in the midfield that things will move early next week. At first, the Marseille club should separate from Ismaël Koné. Bought in Watford for a check for 12 million euros during the last summer, the 22 -year -old did not convince Roberto de Zerbi in the first part of the season. Relegated far enough into the hierarchy in the midfield, and in particular behind Rongier, Hojbjerg or Rabiot, the Canadian international is pushed to the exit at the end of the transfer window. According to Provence, Koné “Arouses the interest of a few clubs. A loan is currently being studied and, this Sunday, OM discussed the purchase options with the clubs interested in the former Watford ”.
Koné on departure, OM thinks of Fagioli
Information that shows that the departure of Koné is on the right track on the side of Marseille. If the Canadiens' leak materializes, Pablo Longoria and Mehdi Benatia will recruit a new environment to compensate for this departure. And according to the latest rumors, Nicolo Fagioli is a priority in the minds of Olympian leaders. At the top of a list of several international players, the Italian could land at the Vélodrome in the form of a loan. Not too much in the plans of Thiago Motta, who prefers other elements of his workforce this season, the middle of 23 years is therefore likely to land in Provence before the end of this winter transfer window. He could then complete the Marseille workforce after the first arrival of Luiz Felipe and the probable coming from a new striker to compensate for the transfer of Elye Wahi to Frankfurt.
