During this World Cup period where Manu Koné is part of the France national team squad, transfer rumours are circulating in the media. Some players already know their next destinations, such as Ibrahima Konaté who left Liverpool for Real Madrid. His teammate in the France squad is also attracting interest on the market. Could a move to Paris Saint-Germain be on the cards? That is what he wants.
As often happens, the summer transfer window running parallel to the World Cup brings its share of departures. Indeed, some clubs constantly seeking reinforcements want to capitalise on the performances of international players to integrate them into their squads. This appears to be the case for Manu Koné, the 25-year-old France midfielder. Having grown up in the Paris region, born in Colombes, Koné notably came through Paris FC. Now, could Paris Saint-Germain be his next stop?
Manu Koné pushed out of Roma for financial reasons
A starter at Roma, the Giallorossi club appears forced to make several sales before June 30, the end of the season’s financial year. And the case of Manu Koné is reportedly on the table of Roma’s decision-makers. Where could he go? Several options are open to the French international, notably in Spain with Atletico Madrid. However, signing for the Rojiblancos is not really in the player’s plans, as he is not convinced by Atleti.
Manu Koné wants PSG as priority, a transfer that will cost his future club €50m?
If he were to leave the Italian capital, Manu Koné‘s preferred plan would be to return to Ligue 1, where he previously played for Toulouse FC. Alternatively, he could take on a new challenge in the Premier League. His ideal move for this summer transfer window, which closes on September 1, is none other than Paris Saint-Germain. The operation is estimated at between €45 and €50 million. Will PSG let this opportunity pass, or will they decide to launch an offensive?
