Matteo Guendouzi spent a full season under Jorge Sampaoli at OM before seeing his playing time gradually reduce the following year with Igor Tudor. Which led to his departure for Lazio, initially in the form of a loan. Lacking playing time at Olympique de Marseille, Ismaël Koné could follow the example of the French international.
Matteo Guendouzi ultimately only stayed two seasons at theABOUT. Essential player under Jorge Sampaolithe French international was not in the good graces ofIgor Tudor who moved him to several positions on the pitch during the 2022/2023 season until he became a luxury joker on the substitutes’ bench. Result ? Guendouzi went on loan to Lazio for a season with a purchase option which was automatically exercised.
Like Matteo Guendouzi, Ismaël Koné no longer plays for OM
Except for one detail, Ismaël Koné could follow in the footsteps of Matteo Guendouzi towards Rome. Recruited last offseason, the 22-year-old midfielder is clearly not unanimous in the minds of Roberto DeZerbi. All we have to do is look at OM’s last four matches, all won by the coach’s team. Italy with the exception of the draw conceded against the LOSC last Saturday (1-1). Whatever the encounter, Kone remained on the substitutes’ bench.
Ismaël Koné will join Lazio on loan in turn?
According to the Corriere dello Sport, Ismaël Koné would be likely to experience a fate similar to that of Matteo Guendouzi. The Lazio would look into his delicate sporting situation at theMarseille Olympic. The boarding committee of the resident of Serie A would consider luring the Canadian international through a loan so that he can strengthen the midfield of the team Marco Baroni. The coach would particularly appreciate the profile of Kone.
