CM: Mönchengladbach confirm Kone’s imminent exit – Milan waiting for sales to pounce

Borussia Monchengladbach began their 2024-25 Bundesliga season with a 3-2 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, and Manu Kone played no part in the game.

As Calciomercato.com recall, Kone was presented with a gift on the field by the club after France reached the final of the men’s football at the Olympics, but he was not among the Mönchengladbach players who faced Xabi Alonso’s champions.

Not only did he not appear in the starting line-up, he was not even on the bench and it is a clue that was confirmed in the official statement with which the club announced through a social media that the player has not been called up for reasons related to the mercato.

“Manu Koné is not part of the team today due to a potential departure from the club,” it reads. Unequivocal words, which suggest that the separation between Borussia and Koné is something imminent.

Milan and Roma are the two clubs that have been most strongly linked. The Rossoneri remain attentive to the situation, knowing that with the sales of Yacine Adli and Ismael Bennacer (the first did not leave for Parma, the second did but has offers from Saudi Arabia) they could make a bid.

According to Sky Germany, Mönchengladbach have not yet received official offers for their midfielder, who for his part has expressed a clear desire to change clubs. If a bid of €20m comes forward, everyone will be satisfied.

    1. Just saw the terms, damn that’s some creative accounting. I think we’ll be getting more and more those kind of deals in the future.

      1. He can’t roll the ball in an empty goalpost… he might be Bologna/Fiorentina/Monza level but after finally getting Giroud level n9, going back to Bacca, Matri, Luiz, Destro…

        Sir Alex Ferguson had a rule that N9 and GK always need to be high class, Jovic isn’t even mid-level…

        1. He a sub. Sir saf had mid lvl subs for gk and St all the time.
          And 9 goals scored in 1200 minutes does prove he can roll a ball into an empty goalspost.
          Find me a sub with those stats, I’ll wait.

          1. I love how you use stats to “protect” Jovic but when shown countless stats about Bennacer you still believe RLC is better and that Benny needs to leave )))

          2. Okafor is a better ST than jovic. I’ve been saying this the whole load season. Ofc you wouldn’t know that..you’re new. And benny is my fav player of this team. Ofc I don’t want him 2 go. And objective like he is our best midfielder, when in form, by a hefty distance.

            Back 2 jovic..he’s a solid sub, find me a sub that has his numbers and we can end this “debate” why we need a new sub for the st.

  1. text about Kone. I’m not the fun of this guy, but I see that management don’t have any other conception. Ibra I expected that you have got some serious ideas, but its look…that you don’t.
    .
    Jovic give us this season a lot. let’s hope.

  2. I can’t wait for the mercato to end so that I don’t have to read crap about mediocre players like Kone or Adli and Bennacer being sold to clubs in Saudi…
