Rennes will have to pay 14 million euros to attach the services of Ismaël Koné. A scenario desired by Habib Beye.

“There is a difference between the wish of a coach and the possibility of a club to do an operation like this, launched the Senegalese technician. We are also conditioned on the clause. Today, on the player he is, if he holds with me against Nice, it is that he is a player on whom I count and whose very strong qualities I identify. Afterwards, there will also be an operation to be carried out and it is also necessary to be aware that we will recover twelve loans, and that before being able to say that we must perpetuate our workforce, we will also have to focus on the number of players that we will have at first. But Ismaël is a player of immense quality“, Concluded Beye.
