AC Milan have been linked with a move for Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone in recent days and their sporting director has made a revelation.
It appears that Milan have encountered difficulties in signing Youssouf Fofana from Monaco. His contract runs out in 11 months but the Ligue 1 side want more than what the Rossoneri have been willing to offer so far, and thus alternatives are being looked into.
The name of Manu Kone has emerged again, a midfielder who play either in a double pivot or as a mezzala, possessing the physical presence the management are looking for but also technical quality too. He has played in all the youth teams with France and started both of the games at the Olympics.
As MilanNews report, Monchengladbach’s sporting director Roland Virkus officially confirmed today that Koné’s intention is to be sold, as he told Kicker: “Manu Koné told us quite early on that he wanted to leave the club, but there is no update.”
The 23-year-old midfielder is on Milan’s radar and has been for some time, given that they tried to sign him from Toulouse in 2021 before the Frenchman chose to move to Germany. It is believed that the German club’s asking price starts at €20m.
They were asking for 50-60m last summer and now they will have to sell him for around 20.
Better sell a player year too early than a year too late.
Good player but way too often injured.
Pass.
Milan doesn’t need another Bennacer. Need a player that will be available.
Need to write something negative but I’m getting a blank atm. All I got is he’s not a dm. Another b2b
Just when I thought you could not possibly get any more stupid, you top it off also talking sh*it you literally have zero clue about. You really have it all, innit
Still triggered?
Trolling yourself is exceptionally meta. Point to Turtle.
I’m not tho. This dude came out of nowhere and is very sore. Guess I fuçked him 2 hard with my honest and 100% correct comment
We need the DM position reinforced. I’m not a fofana proponent. Can be this guy for all I care. Just need to bring a DM in. Season starts soon.
Agreed 100% … makes a big difference if the player joins and gets a preseason understanding the coaches tactics.
At this point I’d suggest trying for Amrabat, he’s in limbo returning to Fiorentina where he doesn’t want to stay. And once we get in a DM, we can play the negotiating game until the last day of the mercato to see if we can bring in Fofana/Kone or whoever at a “reasonable price”
Plus can focus on offloading Adli or Pobega at the same time.
Romano talks about this guy, but linked him to Liverpool.
We will end up with Fofana! Atletico doesn’t have a concrete interest in him. While so far only mid-premier clubs did. He wants Milan and Monaco know they have to sell him. 23 million and the deal is closed in 1 week.
Maybe amrabat is a wiser choice than this guy
i prefer Fofana he has a physical presence, technical, good passing, can score goals
