According to L'Équipe, the 18-year-old Bakola moved for about €10m, after Sassuolo had earlier brought in Ulisses Garcia on loan with an option to buy.
Koné joins on a permanent basis after Sassuolo exercised their option, having been on loan from OM since the start of the season.
The total outlay for Koné, covering the loan and purchase, amounts to €13m.
