Kévin Constant (born 10 May 1987) is a Guinean international footballer who plays for Bologna.

Club career

Toulouse

2006–2008

Constant progressed through the ranks of the reserves. In 2006, he was promoted to Toulouse's first-team squad.[1]

Châteauroux

2008–2011

In 2008, Constant moved to Ligue 2 side Châteauroux.[1]

Chievo

In September 2010, Constant was signed by Italian club Chievo on a loan deal, ultimately made permanent in June 2011.[1]

Genoa

On 1 July 2011, Constant made a move to Genoa for €5.6 million cash,[2] with Francesco Acerbi (tagged for €2 million) and Ivan Fatić (tagged for €200,000) moving the other way to Chievo. Genoa, however, bought Acerbi outright from Reggina for €2.2 million, which would make Constant worth €8 million.[3]

Milan

On 20 June 2012, Constant moved to Milan on a loan deal, which carried an option to buy.[1][4] On 26 January 2013, Milan entered into co-ownership with Genoa for Constant in exchange for the termination of Francesco Acerbi's co-ownership, both for €4 million fees.[5][6] On 27 July 2013, Milan purchased Constant out-right for another €6 million,[6] also selling Rodney Strasser to Genoa for €3.5 million on the same day.[6][7]

In July 2013, Constant responded to what he perceived as racial abuse from spectators at a pre-season TIM Trophy match against Sassuolo by leaving the pitch.[8] Although the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) fined Sassuolo €30,000 due to "racially discriminatory shouts and chants aimed at a player from the opposition’s team", a police investigation found no evidence of such.[9]

Trabzonspor

Constant transferred to Turkish Süper Lig club Trabzonspor for a €2.5 million transfer fee in 2014,[10] signing a four-year contract worth an annual average of €2.25 million.[11] He made his official debut for the club against Russian side Rostov in the play-off qualifying round for the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League. Constant's contract was later terminated on 18 November 2015 for €2 million.[12]

Bologna

On 1 February 2016, Constant returned to Italy after signing with Bologna on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[13]

International career

Constant began representing the French under-17 squad in 2004. He qualified to play for the Guinea senior team through his mother.[14] He made his debut on 14 October 2007, in a 1–3 friendly loss against Senegal. On 10 October 2010, Constant scored his second goal in a 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualification against Nigeria.
