Following their promotion, Sassuolo has made significant moves in the transfer market, securing loan deals for two promising players: Alieu Fadera from Como and Ismael Kone from Olympique Marseille. Both agreements include options to buy, demonstrating the club`s commitment to building a competitive squad for the upcoming season.
Fadera: A Gambian Talent from Como
Alieu Fadera, a 23-year-old Gambian international winger, joins Sassuolo on a €1 million loan with a €10 million option to buy at the season`s end. Como, who recently acquired Fadera from KRC Genk for €5 million plus add-ons, has wisely included a buy-back clause in the deal.
Kone: Canadian Midfielder from Marseille
The second acquisition, Canadian midfielder Ismael Kone, arrives from Olympique Marseille on a €2.5 million loan. The agreement includes a €10 million option to buy, which becomes mandatory if certain conditions are met. Marseille has also secured a percentage of any future transfer fee.
These strategic moves by Sassuolo demonstrate the club`s ambition to establish a strong presence in Serie A following their promotion. By bringing in young, talented players with potential for growth, Sassuolo aims to build a competitive team capable of making an impact in Italy`s top flight.
