OM: Ismaël Koné agreed with a club

After completing the departures of Luis Henrique at Inter (€ 25 million), Quentin Merlin (€ 13 million) and Valentin Rongier (€ 5.5 million) in Rennes and from Pau Lopez to Toluca (€ 4.8 million), Olympique de Marseille continues its degreasing operation with Ismaël Koné. As we announced, Sassuolo and OM had agreed on a paying loan of € 2.5 million with a purchase obligation (in the event of maintenance) up to € 10 million. OM also retains a percentage on a potential resale.

And this Tuesday, OM has just formalized the news. “Good luck Ismaël Koné. The Canadian midfielder is loaned, with the purchase option, until the end of the 2025-2026 season in Sassuolo ”confirm the Phocaeans. After 9 appearances in the first part of the season, the Canadian ended up being loaned to Stade Rennais, which was not convinced to activate the purchase option.
