Revealed: Roma turned down €45 million for Manu Kone

class="wp-block-paragraph">Roma, awaiting Tony D’Amico’s official announcement, is evaluating potential offers for its players, given the need to make capital gains by June 30th.

>

class="wp-block-paragraph">Among those most closely watched is Manu Koné, who will be a key player for France during the World Cup.

>

class="wp-block-paragraph">This is quite a showcase. Inter have been interested in the Giallorossi number 17 since last season, but no offers have arrived at Trigoria in recent days.

>

class="wp-block-paragraph">The French midfielder has also been in the sights of Atlético Madrid, who have made moves to sign the 2001-born player, but Roma have put up a wall.

>

class="wp-block-paragraph">As Il Romanista reports, the Spanish club has made a total offer of €45 million, but the Giallorossi’s response was firm: no, the figure isn’t enough.

>

class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a message Roma is sending to those interested in the French midfielder: a more expensive offer is needed to convince the Friedkins to sell a key player in Gian Piero Gasperini’s tactical plan.

>

class="wp-block-paragraph">If it were up to the Grugliasco-born coach, none of the core players who helped him secure third place and thus the Champions League qualification would be worth selling.

>

class="wp-block-paragraph">No one is unsellable, but Roma wants to sell players on their own terms, without cutting corners.
