Inter Milan and Roma reportedly had an agreement for midfielder Manu Kone before a u-turn by the Giallorossi.
This according to Italian outlet Gazzetta.it. They report that Roma owners the Friedkins were crucial to the decision to walk away from negotiations to sell the Frenchman.
Yesterday, news emerged that Inter Milan are interested in Roma midfielder Manu Kone.
The Frenchman has come into the Nerazzurri’s sights as a reinforcement in holding midfield.
Reports indicate that Inter put a bid of around €45 million on the table.
However, Roma have decided to reject that offer from the Nerazzurri. They have, for all intents and purposes, taken Kone off the market this summer.
Report – Inter & Roma Had Manu Kone Agreement Before U-Turn
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, though, Roma had initially been open to selling Kone.
Inter approached the Giallorossi recently. And they received permission to start negotiating with the player.
And Kone himself would have been more than willing to make the move. The 24-year-old had an informal agreement with the Nerazzurri already.
However, today Roma have made something of an about face as far as Inter’s interest in Kone.
The Giallorossi board spent the day discussing the possibility of selling the France international internally.
On the one hand, a big fee for Kone would have financed some transfer business the other way, including signings of Jadon Sancho and Leon Bailey.
The Gazzetta report that even Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini would have been willing to make the sale.
However, the Gazzetta dello Sport report, Roma owner Dan Friedkin pulled the plug.
After seeing what the fan reaction was and considering the importance of Kone to the team, he decided that Kone is not for sale this summer.
Dont care – we dont need midfielder
Oaktree and ausillio and Marotta should all do the needful and walk away from inter. Things are just getting uglier and being an inter fan for over 25yrs I have never seen inter this disorganized except for during Erik thohir banter era, we bought bisseck for 7million and got an offer for 35m and declined it because it wasn’t up to 40m and we allowed Leoni and de winter to walk away when both players waited all summer for us to make a move and we decided to go for lookman that wasn’t a priority need of the team. This is truly sad and painful to watch all these confusion
25 years is definetly a lie. you wasting your time here, go back to your rube fans base.
Nainggolan!!! Where are you?!?!
There you are you little prick! Wanking in the closet again to Agnelli. You naughty.
Come out the closet!
wkwkwk nice joke
I don’t know where you’re getting that information but the management surely has to be crazy to reject a 30 millions + offer for Bisseck and for Leoni the reality is when a PL club is involved and a player agrees personal terms there’s no way in hell a serie a side including Inter would win a bidding war and salary offer. Inter and the coach don’t consider the defence position as important so they won’t invest anything. But even then I don’t see a universe where they refuse such an offer for Bisseck
would rather we get frendrup.
Only Inter’s management don’t care about fans. Why u didn’t sell Bisseck? For 5 million extra? That is failure . Inter management fail once again. It’s about three years they fail now so its looking like Marotta time is coming to an end. Inter management cheap and greedy and Inter fans don’t deserve that.
why we should sell bissek? Inter won 250 milion last season . we need sell old ones and bring new players !
Owners who care about their fans opinions? That would be nice….
That’s suicidal in business perspective.
