AS Roma is closely monitoring the transfer market and has reportedly joined the extensive list of suitors for Ismael Koné, Sassuolo’s talented French midfielder. Having arrived last summer, Koné quickly earned the trust of the Neroverdi club, demonstrating remarkable consistency and adaptability. The 2002-born talent has made 27 league appearances, 26 of them as a starter, also showcasing a strong offensive flair by scoring 5 goals. His qualities have drawn attention from several top Serie A teams, including AC Milan, Juventus, Inter, and Napoli, and now Roma appears serious about entering the race for the midfielder.
Sassuolo recently solidified its position regarding Koné, securing his permanent transfer from Marseille for approximately ten million euros and tying him to the club with a contract until 2030. This significant investment underscores their belief in the young talent. However, for any potential transfer, Sassuolo is reportedly seeking at least three times that initial outlay, valuing the player at around €30 million. Koné’s profile is highly sought after by top-tier clubs due to his versatility, allowing him to operate in various midfield roles. Roma is therefore preparing to compete with other major teams for the French talent, who could significantly bolster their midfield department. Should the deal materialize, Koné would represent a valuable acquisition for Roma’s future.
