Olympique de Marseille annouces the transfer of Issa Kaboré in principle from Manchester City. The right back will come on a loan-deal after passing his medical tests

Born in Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso) on May 12, 2001 and a Burkina Faso international with already 24 caps at just 21 years old, Issa Kaboré began his professional career in Belgium at KV Mechelen in 2019.

Quickly spotted by Manchester City, he joined the ranks of the English club in 2020 while being directly loaned to the Belgian club in which he achieved a second consecutive season in the Jupiler Pro League.

 

In the summer of 2021, the right-back went on loan for a season in Ligue 1 Uber Eats at the promoted Troyes. With ESTAC, he made a full season: 31 games played in the first team.

 

Semi-finalist of the last African Cup of Nations with his country and selected best young player of the competition (7 games and 3 assists), Issa is a fast and powerful player.

He has the perfect profile to integrate into the Olympic system, and will use all his determination and energy to help the club achieve its objectives.
