AC Milan are being linked with a move for Sassuolo central midfielder Ismaël Koné in a deal that could be worth around his reported €20.00m market value.
The 23-year-old, who represents Canada and also holds Ivorian nationality, is emerging as a possible option for Milan’s midfield as speculation grows over his future in Emilia-Romagna. Transfermarkt lists his current value at €20.00m, a figure likely to form the basis of any negotiations between the Serie A clubs.
Koné, a right-footed central midfielder standing at 1.88m, is currently on the books at Sassuolo, wearing the No 90 shirt. His contract details have not been disclosed publicly, with no expiry date listed, leaving open the possibility that he could run down his deal and become a free agent in future windows if no agreement is reached. For now, the mooted switch to Milan remains firmly in the rumour category, with the probability of the move marked simply as “?”.
Born in Abidjan on 16 June 2002, Koné later aligned his international career with Canada and has built a reputation as a powerful, progressive midfielder. He has been operating in Serie A with Sassuolo, adding top-flight Italian experience to his development, though precise seasonal appearance and goal tallies are not detailed in the current data.
Recent match specifics, including opponents, dates, scorelines and individual performance metrics, are not listed in the information available, but his growing profile in Italy has been enough to attract attention from one of the division’s traditional heavyweights.
If a transfer were to materialise, a move from Sassuolo to AC Milan would mark a significant step up in Koné’s career trajectory and could shape his reputation as one of the leading dual-nationality midfielders in European football.
