26 Jul
Summary
- Roma needs to raise $57 million before July 31 due to Financial Fair Play issues.
- Manchester United has spoken with Manu Koné's agents but not with Roma.
- Roma faces pressure to sell Koné quickly to meet UEFA financial regulations.
Roma faces a critical deadline of July 31 to raise around $57 million, a requirement stemming from past Financial Fair Play breaches. The club hopes to secure this amount through player sales, with Manu Koné being a potential high-value asset.
Manchester United has expressed interest in Koné and engaged in discussions with the player's agents. However, the English club has not yet made an official offer to Roma, as they are still evaluating their midfield targets. This indecision from Manchester United adds to Roma's urgency, as they are eager to finalize a sale.
While Koné presents an intriguing financial option, his adaptability to the Premier League remains an unknown. Manchester United is also considering other midfielders, some of whom are more experienced but also more expensive, necessitating a clear prioritization of their transfer strategy.
