Ismaël Koné’s Uncertain Future at Marseille
Ismaël Koné who plays in the middle for Olympique Marseille, can’t seem to get into the team proper. Since he came from Watford in 2024 the Canadian guy has been having trouble with injuries and other players being picked instead of him, he’s only played like nine times. He’s worth about €12 million but coach Roberto De Zerbi doesn’t seem to like how he plays football which don’t help. People are saying he’s probably gonna leave soon because of all this.
Strategic Implications for Marseille and Juventus
Whether Fagioli goes to Marseille really depends on what happens with Koné. While Marseille tries to figure out what to do with Koné they gotta think about money and what they need for the team. Juventus won’t budge on wanting to sell Fagioli proper cause they think he’s worth a lot long term. Both teams are trying to work out this complicated deal that could change how both their midfields look.
