It had been reported that Sassuolo set an asking price of circa €30m on the player.
He only recently extended his contract with Sassuolo, who he first joined in 2022 from FC Lorient for €10.1m plus add-ons.
Those bonuses include a 20 per cent cut of the profit made from any future sale.
The Frenchman has scored 38 goals in 141 games for Sassuolo, also providing 27 assists for his teammates.

What happened
Ipswich Town have expressed interest in Sassuolo's French winger Armand Laurienté ahead of the upcoming transfer window. Sassuolo are reported to have set a €30 million asking price for the 25-year-old, who has been one of their standout attacking players. The fee could prove steep for Ipswich, who were recently promoted to the Premier League. Negotiations are at an early stage and no formal offer has yet been confirmed.
Chance analysis
A €30m asking price for Laurienté is a significant outlay for a newly promoted Premier League side, suggesting either strong belief in his quality or a potential negotiation starting point. Laurienté provides direct dribbling, pace, and goal threat from wide areas, which would address a key need for Ipswich in the top flight. The deal's feasibility depends on Ipswich's budget and willingness to push past Sassuolo's valuation.
If completed, Laurienté would significantly strengthen Ipswich Town's attack, while Sassuolo would lose a key creative outlet.
Monitor whether Ipswich submit a formal bid; Laurienté signing would meaningfully upgrade their attacking options for Premier League survival.
