Burkinabé defender Bakary Koné might be a target for Newcastle United, with the English club considering him as a priority for the central defense position. The player, who is currently with Lyon, was reportedly not placed on the transfer list by the club, and Lyon’s coach, Rémi Garde, has expressed his intention to keep Koné for the upcoming season.
Contrary to reports, Lyon clarified on its website that Bakary Koné has not been put up for sale. The statement refuted claims that Koné was on the transfer market and emphasized that the coach views him as part of the team’s plans for the upcoming season. The clarification suggests that Lyon values the player and has no intention of selling him at the moment.
