Inter Milan are among the clubs tracking Sassuolo midfielder Ismael Kone as they plan a significant midfield overhaul this summer, with AC Milan, Juventus and Roma all competing for the same player.
According to Gazzetta, Sassuolo value the Canadian midfielder at between €20-30 million, a fee that makes him a more accessible option than Manu Koné of Roma, who commands around €40 million.
Inter are monitoring both players simultaneously.
Manu Koné remains the priority target, but Ismael Koné represents a younger and cheaper alternative worth serious consideration.
Inter Milan Face Four-Way Battle For Sassuolo Star Kone
The competition is fierce. Juventus, Milan and Roma have all registered interest in Ismael Koné alongside Inter.
That four-way battle will inevitably drive up the price, though Sassuolo’s €20-30 million valuation remains relatively manageable for clubs of this level.
Inter’s midfield will look very different next season.
Calhanoglu’s future is uncertain, Frattesi wants to leave, and Mkhitaryan departs when his contract expires.
Therefore, the likes of Kone could be part of a huge overhaul.
Bringing in fresh energy and quality in that area of the pitch is not optional, it is essential.
Especially given Inter’s history of more experienced players in the heart of midfield, and current squad options.
for the nex season we need two quality midfielders, two CBs, one right wing back (to deputize for Dumphries, if he stays), one world class striker (if Thuram leaves, and I hope he will) and a goalkeeper. Seven players in total, if we want to be at a European level.
Swap him and Diouf
Now for the reality check. Midfielders next season
Niko, sucic, stankovic, zeli
Also
Miki, hakan, andy, davide(maybe 2 will leave and 2 will come)
This is not playstation.
6 new players is realistic.
Stankovic, goalie, striker, wing, defender and a coach specific player.
But these massive change the whole team thinking – get it out of your head. Not gonna happen.
Forza Inter
I don’t know that we’ll sign a striker. I think next season is when the formation changes to 3-4-2-1.
Diouf and Bonny are both signings that indicate that. Fratessi would have a lot more opportunity in that formation also- and would score more than Thuram.
Our biggest need is for Bonny or Diouf to be consistent one-on-one dribblers, a back up RWB, a starting goalie, and a younger version of Acerbi.
30Ml for him? Lol
we can get Mouzakitis for 35Ml
sell Diouf and get him and Manu then
