Baky Koné Eyeing Return to Ligue 1 After UAE Stint
Former Olympique de Marseille forward Baky Koné is reportedly considering a return to France, potentially marking a comeback to Ligue 1 four years after his departure from the French top flight.
The 32-year-old striker, who most recently completed a six-month contract with Ajman Club in the United Arab Emirates, is now a free agent and able to sign for any club. Koné’s career has included spells in various leagues, notably Qatar, and his experience abroad has broadened his footballing horizons.
According to Sports.fr, several French clubs have expressed interest in the seasoned attacker, who could bring valuable experience and versatility to their squads. Koné’s potential return would add depth to the frontline, with his past Ligue 1 experience—including his notable time at Marseille—making him a familiar figure in French football circles.
While details of any imminent deal remain unclear, the prospect of Koné rejoining the French league offers an intriguing development for fans and clubs alike, as the former Ivorian international looks to reignite his career on home turf.
