Ismaël Koné, who was loaned to Sassuolo at the start of the season because he was unable to establish himself at OM, is expected to make his move permanent. According to information from Foot Marseille, Sassuolo is set to sign the midfielder, and the transfer is contingent on a mandatory purchase option that will be exercised at the end of the season if the club remains in Serie A. The transfer fee set by OM is €10 million. Koné's initial contract with Marseille was due to run until June 30, 2029.
