Ismaël Koné, the Canadian midfielder who joined Olympique Marseille last summer for €15 million, finds himself at a crossroads.

Despite Lazio Rome’s interest during the winter transfer window, Koné has made it clear that he’s not considering an exit from OM just yet.

Koné’s time at Marseille has been challenging, marked by injuries and inconsistent form. With only eight Ligue 1 appearances and three starts to his name this season, his adaptation has been slower than anticipated. Criticism from coach Roberto De Zerbi hasn’t made matters easier, fueling rumors of a potential transfer.

However, sources close to the club suggest Koné is determined to fight for his place. While Marseille’s management might view his sale as an opportunity to bolster their finances, the player himself has other plans.

According to Provence, Koné remains focused on improving and proving his value under De Zerbi’s guidance. For the 21-year-old, the remainder of the season presents an opportunity to silence his critics and solidify his role in the Marseille squad.
