He is presently with the Guinean national team at the ongoing African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Egypt.
The Guinean midfielder has moved to Rome as part of a swap deal involving defender Kostas Manolas who has moved from AS Roma to Napoli.
Both clubs decided to treat the two transfers separately for financial reasons.
Greek international centre back Kostas Manolas has joined Napoli from AS Roma after both clubs agreed on a €36m deal for him amidst the transfer reports linking the defender with a move to Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United.
Napoli decided to pay the €36m release clause in his contract at AS Roma to secure his transfer.
He will replace Raul Albiol at Napoli after the Spaniard joined La Liga club Villarreal for €4m.
