The agent of Inter Milan midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia has said that they will wait until the January transfer window opens to see if the 23 year old is still in his club’s plans.
Speaking to France Football, Jonathan Maarek said that Kondogbia has not been happy with his playing situation this season but he will not consider a move back to France, opening up the possibility of a switch to England. He said:
“I would a liar if I said that Geoffrey is experiencing the best moment of his career. But this is the way that players mature and you need to live through the difficult times to make you stronger. His move to Inter was seen as a major stepping-stone in his career and this idea remains.”
“The project at Marseille is not favoured by the player or his advisers. The most important thing now is to rediscover the pleasure of playing. The question of a transfer does not exist at the moment but there is a window in January and we will see what happens”.
Liverpool and Chelsea have reportedly been interested in the midfielder according to reports in the Italian media. However, Kondogbia did return to the starting lineup in the Milan derby yesterday in the 2-2 draw against AC Milan. It was the first time in almost two months he had started a league match.
The arrival of Stefano Pioli as manager could prove to be a turning point in his Inter career. It was Pioli’s first match in charge, and Kondogbia maybe back in the coach’s plans after the player fell out with previous boss Frank De Boer.
