Ismaël Koné has a good chance of leaving Olympique de Marseille for Valence on a loan without an option to buy. He has reached an agreement with Valence, convinced by the coach Carlos Corberan's vision. However, Marseille wants to recruit his replacement before allowing him to leave.

Ismael Kone is a hot prospect on the market. The Canadian midfielder currently playing for Marseille might change teams, with Valencia and Fiorentina showing significant interest. However, Marseille plans to sell him only if they find a replacement, making the deal challenging as the transfer window closure approaches, according to Italian insider Lorenzo Lepore.
