Milan Midfield Target Impresses in Head-to-Head Meeting

Ismael Koné shone again in the Milan clash, further enticing the Rossoneri to try to snap him up next season amid a likely overhaul of their midfield. They won’t be alone in that regard, though. His situation is pretty straightforward, given a release clause in his contract, Calciomercato reports.

Sassuolo acquired him in a €13M package after he had a falling out with then Olympique Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi, plus a slice of a future sale. His valuation is around €30M, but he can be poached for €35M.

Milan director Igli Tare was quizzed about Koné by DAZN before the game (via Tribuna).

“He’s had an excellent season; he has precise traits and has already played at a high level. He could be one of Sassuolo’s summer protagonists.”

Neroverdi CEO Giovanni Carnevali also weighed in.

“I haven’t talked about him with either the Rossoneri or Inter. We received requests from foreign clubs. He has international suitors because he’s very valuable. We’ll search for the best possible solution.”
