 On 19 February 2015, the Ivorian attacking midfielder accused his club Levadiakos that they do not permit him to take part in training as long as he is not open for a contract extension which runs out at the end of the season.According to reports, Koné stayed in a hotel, but his club does not cover the expenses, while his family had been forced to return to France.On the other hand, the club denied Koné's claims, insisting that the Ivorian left Levadiakos without any warning and he was the one who expressed the desire to leave the club as he was considering an offer from a Qatari team.
