Habib Keita, the Mali and Ivory Coast midfielder at Kocaelispor, has been linked with a move to Toulouse in Ligue 1.
The 24-year-old central midfielder joined Kocaelispor permanently from Clermont Foot on 1 July after spending the 2025-26 season at the Turkish club on loan. The transfer fee was €700,000, while Keita’s market value is listed at €2.5m.
Keita made 28 appearances in the Turkish Super Lig last season, scoring once and providing two assists. He had previously played in Ligue 1 with Clermont, making 31 appearances and scoring one goal during the 2023-24 campaign.
The move would represent a return to France for Keita, who began his senior career in the Lyon system before joining Clermont in July 2023. He also spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Belgian club KV Kortrijk.
Keita is under contract with Kocaelispor until 30 June 2028. There has been no indication of a transfer fee or formal offer from Toulouse, but the Ligue 1 club are named as the side linked with the midfielder.
