Derby County has contacted Manchester City to inquire about the conditions for a potential transfer of Issa Kaboré, a 25-year-old Burkina Faso international right-back. The player, who has one year remaining on his contract, is not part of the English club's plans. Manchester City wishes to receive a transfer fee and does not want him to leave for free. Derby County hopes to benefit from this contractual situation, but the club is not the only one interested. Stade Rennais also recently inquired about the player's situation, and other clubs are also monitoring him.
Kaboré has been capped 52 times for his country, scoring two goals. During the 2025/2026 Premier League season, he made 24 appearances and provided 2 assists. According to recent reports from July 2026, Manchester City's asking price is between €4 million and €5 million. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €4.00m.
