Abdoulaye Konko Faye (born 9 March 1984 in Marseille) is a French footballer of Senegalese and Moroccan descent, who plays as a right back for Atalanta. He favours dribbling and can play on either wing.
A youth product of Juventus F.C., Konko was loaned to F.C. Crotone with Giovanni Bartolucci, Tomas Guzman, Antonio Mirante, Matteo Paro and Daniele Gastaldello in 2004 and with Guzman in 2005.
He was sold in co-ownership deal to Siena in 2006, valued €500,000, and moved along with Bartolucci for €500 and Andrea Masiello for €350,000, as well as Douglas Packer on loan. On the opening game of the season, Konko made his debut for the club, coming on for Luca Antonini, in a 2–1 win over ChievoVerona; then scored his first goal in a 3–1 win over Messina on 14 October 2006. On 10 December 2006, Konko received a red card, after a second bookable offence, in a 0–0 draw against Sampdoria.
On 25 January 2007, Konko was sold by Juventus to Genoa for €1 million as part of the deal for Domenico Criscito. Konko became owned by Genoa and Siena. In June 2007 Genoa acquired Masiello but forced to sell Konko after failing to bid him from a closed tender for €823,787. In July 2007 Genoa re-acquired Konko for €1.2 million (thus cost Geona €376,213 in net by deducting June revenue). As part of the deal, Fernando Forestieri became co-owned by Siena and Genoa for €1.7 million. On the opening game of the season, on 26 August 2007, Konko made his debut in a 3–0 defeat to A.C. Milan; two months on, Konko scored his first goal for the club in a 4–1 loss against Inter Milan. His second goal was followed up on 22 March 2008, in 3–2 win over Palermo six-month later, since scoring his first. Five weeks later, his third came in a 1–0 win against his former club, Siena. At the end of the season, Russian clubs CSKA Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow confirmed their interests to sign Konko.
