Sassuolo have two new transfers lined up, finally securing Alieu Fadera from Como and Ismael Koné from Olympique Marseille, both on loan with option to buy.
Football Italia have long confirmed that Fadera was being lined up for the Neroverdi and the final details seem to have been completed.

Specifically, Sky Sport Italia put these at a €1m loan with option to buy at the end of the season for a further €10m.
At the same time, Como will retain a buy-back clause in case the winger makes a big impact this term in Serie A.
Como had only purchased the 23-year-old Gambia international from KRC Genk last summer for €5m plus add-ons.
The other deal Sassuolo have ready to go is for Canadian midfielder Koné, who is owned by Olympique Marseille and spent last term on loan at Rennes.
His transfer is going to be a €2.5m loan with an option to buy that becomes an obligation if certain conditions are met for a further €10m.
Marseille can also get a percentage of the sell-on fee in future.
