Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he never misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Already very active behind the scenes, OM, which has finally announced the signing of its new coach, namely Roberto De Zerbi, has also formalized an agreement in principle for the transfer of Ismaël Koné who will arrive from Watford for approximately €12M. And according to Julien Laurens, it’s a very good deal for the Marseille club.
L’ABOUT is getting down to business in the transfer market. After formalizing the signing of Roberto De Zerbi, the reshuffling of the workforce continues. Many departures are expected while that of Vitinha has been made official. In terms of arrivals, things should also move, and the Marseille club has thus announced an agreement with Watford for the transfer ofIsmaël Koné which will land for around €12M from Watford. A very nice move to believe Julien Laurens.
Ismaël Koné, OM’s big hit?
« After Isamïla Sarr and Ilman Ndiaye, OM will look for another Championship player. I have very positive feedback about Ismaël Koné. We saw him with Canada in a friendly match before the Euro, he caught our eye, he was the best midfielder with Kanté. 12M€ I am told that it is not expensive at all, now we will see on the ground “, assures the correspondent of RMC in England at the microphone of theAfter Footbefore continuing.

« But I still have the impression that OM is in the process of rejuvenating its squad. With Brassier, Koné, Belloumi, I think they want to put potential young people in the arms of De Zerbi to give market value and make valuable gains. I also heard that Lopez wanted to leave and that he could be replaced by Meslier, that wouldn’t surprise me. He is 24 years old, so I think they are in this kind of sports policy for this transfer window », added Julien Laurens.
