Manu Kone remains Inter Milan’s primary midfield target for the summer, and the France midfielder is still open to making the switch from Roma to the Nerazzurri, according to Tuttosport.
According to the outlet, via L’Interista, Inter plan to return with a formal offer next month as they look to add physicality and energy to one of Europe’s best midfield units.
Koné’s interest in the move has never wavered.
Last summer Inter came close to signing him for over €40 million, only for Roma’s ownership to block the sale under pressure from supporters.
Roma Softer Stance Opens Door As Kone Move Would Complement Calhanoglu At Inter
Indeed, the key shift this summer could come from Roma’s side.
The Giallorossi may now show greater willingness to sell, potentially at a lower figure than the €40-45 million demanded previously.
Furthermore, Tuttosport clarify that Koné’s arrival would not conflict with Hakan Calhanoglu’s continued presence. The two players occupy different roles and would complement rather than compete with each other.
Therefore, the conditions for this deal to happen are more favourable than twelve months ago.
Inter will wait another month before making their move, giving the season time to conclude and allowing the transfer market to take shape.
However, the intent is clear. Koné is the target. The opening offer is coming.
We should move to a 4,1,4,1 if we get Kone. Let Henrique play his natural postion as a right winger and get another one on the left. Stankovic can be our holding/defensive midfielder and have Barella paired with Kone as CM. Lautaro can we our only striker and Thuram can be sold at a good price. I do want Susic to play more so hopefully some good rotation will take place. Get a new right back since it seems like Dumfries is busy changing agents to move to prems.
you took chalha to bench kenan?…..sorry…have you said in the next two years I would have no argue
We’ll have guaranteed sucic, barella, stankovic, zielinksi, and maybe kone. that would be a stacked midfield. I just hope Sucic would have playing time next season.
we still don’t know about Stankovic, but even if we take him back, no guarantees Zielinski will stay..
Susic, barella and kone? YES please
