Belgian journalist Sasha Tavaleri confirmed that Saudi club Neom does not plan to sign Ivorian Valley Konate, the left-back for Cercle Brugge, putting an end to recent rumors regarding the player's transfer.

Tavaleri explained that Konate feels completely comfortable within the Belgian club, where he continues to deliver stable performances and convincing displays since the start of the current football season.

This definitive denial dispels the news linking the player to a move to the Roshan League through the newly promoted Neom club.

The journalist pointed out that the sports management of Cercle Brugge sees Konate as one of the key pillars in the team's lineup, making the possibility of his departure unlikely at this time.

Several reports had discussed Saudi interest in the Ivorian defender's services, but Tavaleri's confirmations put an end to these rising speculations.

According to what has been circulated, the player is currently focusing on his journey with Cercle Brugge in the Belgian league, away from any talk of future transfers.
