While director Daniele Prade drops hints, it’s reported Fiorentina have sealed a deal with Lille for Jonathan Ikone.
According to Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the final details have all been worked out.
It will be a €15m transfer fee, plus the Viola will owe LOSC a 10 per cent cut of any future sale.
The 23-year-old winger will then sign a five-year contract at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Meanwhile, director Daniele Pradè was asked about the situation by Tuttomercatoweb this evening.
“The transfer market opens on January 3, Ikone is a Lille player, a very good player. But I cannot say any more than that.”
Ikone came from the Paris Saint-Germain youth academy and was sold to Lille for €5m in the summer of 2018.
So far this season, he has made 25 competitive appearances for LOSC, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
Although he primarily plays on the right wing, Ikone can also work in a trequartista role or as a support striker.

Replacement for valhovic
@steve
Rather replacement for callejon.
Vlahovic will remain to the summer mainly because he don’t won’t to leave while having a really good shot at the capocanniere title
