During the world cup, where Manu Koné is representing France, transfer rumours are heating up. Some players already know their next destinations—like Ibrahima Konaté, who left Liverpool for Real Madrid. Now, Koné’s fellow French international is also drawing interest. Could a move to Paris Saint-Germain be on the cards? That is precisely what the 25-year-old midfielder hopes for.
As often happens, the summer transfer window overlapping with the World Cup triggers a flurry of moves. Clubs eager to strengthen their squads look to capitalise on international players’ performances. That appears to be the case with Manu Koné, the 25-year-old France midfielder. Raised in the Paris region and born in Colombes, Koné previously played for Paris FC. Now, is PSG his next step?
Roma forced to sell Manu Koné due to financial constraints
A starter at Roma, the Giallorossi club seems compelled to offload players before 30 June, when the financial year ends. Manu Koné appears to be on Roma’s decision-makers’ list. Where could he go? Several options exist, notably in Spain with Atlético Madrid. However, joining the Rojiblancos is not in the player’s plans—he is not convinced by Atlético, according to Italian reports.
Manu Koné prioritises PSG, transfer fee around 50m€
If Manu Koné leaves the Italian capital, his preferred destination would be a return to Ligue 1, where he once wore the colours of Toulouse FC. Alternatively, he could embark on a new challenge in the Premier League. His dream move for the summer window, which closes on 1 September, is Paris Saint-Germain. The operation would cost between 45 and 50 million euros. Will PSG seize this opportunity or decide to launch an offensive?
