Al-Ittihad is interested in RB Leipzig's French and Ivorian central defender Abdoul Koné for the upcoming winter transfer window and is monitoring his profile. A departure in January is a possibility, as the 21-year-old has struggled to get playing time since his arrival in Germany. Koné, who joined the Bundesliga club last January for €21 million, has only played three minutes in a single league match this season. His contract with RB Leipzig runs until June 2031, and he has four caps for the France U20 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €15M.
