Ismael Koné

Reports from February 2026 state that Sassuolo will permanently sign the player from Olympique Marseille for a €13 million fee. An earlier report from November 2025 had mentioned a mandatory purchase option of €10 million. In July 2025, Marseille was reportedly asking AS Roma for approximately €15 million. In February 2025, his loan from Marseille to Rennes included a €1 million fee and a €14 million option to buy. The available data also mentions Marseille purchased him from Watford in July 2024 for a reported €12 million, and his prior transfer from CF Montréal to Watford in January 2023 was for €8 million.

Our valuation is driven by the highly consistent and recent transfer data for Ismael Koné. The key data point is the reported €13 million permanent transfer fee agreed between Olympique Marseille and Sassuolo for February 2026. This figure is strongly supported by his recent transfer history, including the €12 million fee Marseille paid in 2024, a €14 million purchase option included in his loan to Rennes, and Marseille's €15 million asking price to Roma.
