Ittihad monitor RB Leipzig defender ahead of winter transfer window

Young French defender Abdou Kone has caught the attention of Al Ittihad after expressing his openness to a new experience in the Saudi Pro League during the upcoming winter transfer window.

Transfer journalist Ikram Konor has confirmed that the 21-year-old player is open to a move to Saudi Arabia in January, seeking greater playing opportunities.

Koni's interest in leaving comes amid limited appearances with his German team, since his transfer from Stade Reims, where he has only participated in one match in the Bundesliga this season.

The French site 'Foot Mercato' previously revealed that the federation is interested in acquiring the services of the young defender during the winter transfer window, as the club monitors his situation with RB Leipzig.

It is expected that the possibility of Al Ittihad moving to sign Kone will become clearer in the coming period, especially with the player's desire to gain more playing minutes and his openness to pursuing a professional experience in the Saudi Pro League.
