Sportitalia transfer expert Gianluigi Longari has indicated that Ipswich Town has made contact regarding Laurienté.
The versatile winger predominantly plays on the left but is also capable of performing on the right flank or in a False 9 position.
Reports suggest that Sassuolo has set an asking price of around €30 million for him. Laurienté recently renewed his contract with Sassuolo, having joined the club in 2022 from FC Lorient for €10.1 million plus add-ons, which include a 20% share of any future sale profits.
To date, the Frenchman has scored 38 goals and provided 27 assists in 141 appearances for Sassuolo.
