Engaged in a thrilling Champions League race, Roma's goal is to finish in the top four also to have income that can strengthen the coffers of the Giallorossi club. By June, the Romans will have to find the 90 million needed to fall within the parameters of financial fair play. An excellent transfer is not excluded and among the most attractive names there is certainly that of Manu Kone.
Kone proposto all'Atletico Madrid
In recent days the midfielder has been proposed to some suitors including Atletico Madrid who, once they abandoned the Ederson track, continue to be looking for a midfielder with good feet. Obviously whether or not the Giallorossi club qualifies for the next Champions League would shift a large portion of the budget, but however this year ends up the club will have to sacrifice an important piece of the squad on the market. The deadline is clear: by 30 June 2026 Roma will have to make a significant capital gain to settle the club's accounts and Manu Kone, like Ndicka and Svilar, is one of the most important suspects.
L'Inter vorrebbe il centrocampista francese
Among the many changes that Inter, in agreement with Cristian Chivu, will try to implement there is also a possible restructuring of the midfield which from three elements in line (1 director and two midfielders) should move to a triangle with two midfielders and a playmaker behind the two strikers. From this perspective, there has been talk of a possible move for the Roma player for some time, but the race for the Frenchman is widening and the time will not be infinite.
The player is coming off a season in which he made 36 appearances for Roma in all competitions, scoring 2 goals and 3 assists. He is an excellent tackler, aggressive and reactive: his dynamism makes him valuable as a screen in front of the defence. He can play various roles in the middle of the pitch, adapting both as a midfielder in a two-man line and as a midfielder in a three-man midfield. The class of 2001 has a good vision of the game and a very high percentage of successful passes, as well as the ability to overcome the first line of opposition pressure with the ball at his feet.
The midfielder has already been at the top of the list of targets for the Inter transfer team since last summer, which made a move as early as July 2025 and will soon make a new attempt. At the beginning of the 2025/2026 season, the Friedkin family's desire to avoid upsetting the public too much, which was already protesting the possible transfer, was decisive and, consequently, a no was reached to the 40 million proposed by the Nerazzurri.
