Inter ramp up interest in Kone: player opens to move
Inter ramp up interest in Kone: player opens to move Attention at Roma is focused on the management shakeup involving Massara and Ranieri, both of whom are leaving Trigoria. However, the Giallorossi club will still have to account for the capital gains they must realize by June 30th to comply with the settlement agreement with UEFA. The figure appears to be around €80 million.
The sale of Manu Koné is back in the news. Inter, determined to secure Calhanoglu, is now considering a player to orbit the Turk, and the Roma midfielder is indeed on the Nerazzurri’s list. Manu Koné is Inter’s top target to strengthen their midfield.
The Nerazzurri already negotiated the Frenchman last summer, when Ausilio’s €40 million offer to Massara was approved by Gasperini, but the Friedkins blocked the deal. A season later, however, history is destined to repeat itself, and the Giallorossi’s final response could change, especially if they fail to qualify for the Champions League by overcoming Juventus. As reported by Tuttosport , Roma values Koné at around €40-45 million; Inter would like to pay less and exclude Frattesi, who remains a target for the Roman club, from the deal.
The Frenchman is happy with the destination, which is why Ausilio will begin his pursuit of the 2001-born player in a month.
