context_page_description: Kévin Constant is a former professional footballer who played as a midfielder or left back. Having come through the Toulouse youth system, he left for LB Châteauroux in 2008. He moved to Italy in 2010 playing for Chievo, Genoa, and Milan. Following a stint at Trabzonspor in Turkey, he returned to Italy's Bologna in 2016 before joining FC Sion in Switzerland in 2017. In 2019, he was contracted to Iranian club Tractor but never played for the club. At international level, he made 24 appearances scoring 4 goals with the Guinea national team.
context_section_description: On 20 June 2012, Constant moved to Milan on a loan deal, which carried an option to buy. 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. On 27 July 2013, Milan purchased Constant outright for another €6 million, also selling Rodney Strasser to Genoa for €3.5 million on the same day.
  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. 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.
