Manu Koné eyes PSG move: a €50m transfer after the world cup?
With the World Cup in full swing and Manu Koné representing France, transfer rumours are heating up. While Ibrahima Konaté has already sealed a move from Liverpool to Real Madrid, his French teammate Koné is also attracting strong interest. Could Paris Saint-Germain be his next destination? That is exactly what the midfielder hopes for.
Summer transfer windows often come alive during major tournaments, and this one is no exception. Clubs looking to strengthen are keen to capitalise on the form of international players. That seems to be the case for Manu Koné, the 25-year-old France midfielder who grew up in the Paris region, was born in Colombes, and once played for Paris FC. Now, the big question is whether he will join PSG.
Manu Koné pushed towards exit at Roma for financial reasons
A regular starter for Roma, the Giallorossi appear compelled to sell before June 30, when their financial year ends. Manu Koné’s name is reportedly on the club’s sale list. Where could he go? Several options exist, including a possible switch to Spain with Atlético Madrid. However, the French international is not convinced by a move to the Rojiblancos, making that destination unlikely.
Manu Koné prioritises PSG, transfer fee around €50m for his next club
Manu Koné’s preferred plan, should he leave the Italian capital, is to return to Ligue 1, where he previously wore the colours of Toulouse FC. Alternatively, he could take on a new challenge in the Premier League. But his ideal transfer for this summer window—which closes on September 1—is Paris Saint-Germain. The operation is valued at between €45 and €50 million. Will PSG seize this opportunity or decide to launch an offensive?
