L Equipe: Monaco is interested in Reims defender Cone, and the two teams have already held negotiations

According to the French media "Team", in order to meet the employment needs of new coach Poconioli, Monaco is considering introducing a new defender. Their current target candidate is Reims player Abdel Kone.

The report stated that as mentioned on Wednesday night, Monaco has begun to look for a defensive reinforcement to adapt to the needs of new head coach Poconioli, who intends to use a three-back system. As Nice Morning reported on Thursday, Reims defender Koné is one of the top candidates being considered by Monaco.

The France U20 international is admired for his versatile attributes, able to play at right-back (the position he played at the start of last season's French Ligue 1) and centre-back (his current main position).

According to L'Equipe, the two clubs have started negotiations on the player in recent hours. Marseille tried to sign him in January. But it's not easy to convince Reims to let him go, because they value the defender very much.

The report also pointed out that in recent weeks there has been news that Lance is preparing to renew his contract with Cone.
