In just over a month, Manu Koné will inevitably return to the forefront of transfer rumors.
Over the summer, several clubs showed interest in the French midfielder, but never fully committed, offering a fee commensurate with Roma’s €55-60 million asking price.
The 2001-born player remains a top performer, which is why he’s destined to be linked with top European clubs. Gasperini, however, will continue to fight for his permanence.
Between July and September, Roma repelled at least three bids for Koné: from Inter, Atlético Madrid, and a last-minute Chelsea.
As Corriere dello Sport reports, they received several low-ball offers, but no official offer.
In January, however, the Premier League will once again be interested in the 2001-born midfielder. The midfielder hasn’t disappeared from Chelsea’s radar, and Manchester United, having sacked Carrick, will return to the market to rebuild and strengthen the squad.
