Last summer, Ismaël Koné left Olympique de Marseille to join Sassuolo on loan. The Phocaeans hoped that this transfer would allow him to shine. Which is the case. Considered a flop in France, the player is having a good year under Fabio Grosso (31 matches, 6 goals). Sassuolo also exercised its purchase option last February. But nothing says that he will stay at the club next season.
In fact, the Gazzetta dello Sport announces that AC Milan is on the case. The Rossoneri are counting on the sale of Youssouf Fofana, who has touches in the Premier League and Turkey and whose price is estimated at €25 million. Part of the money will be invested to recruit Ismaël Koné. But the Lombards will have to work together because Juventus has also been cited as a candidate for the arrival of the player under contract until 2030 for a few weeks now.
