Inter Milan Targets Manu Kone: Potential Record Transfer from Roma
Reports from Italy suggest that Inter Milan is significantly advancing its efforts to acquire Roma midfielder Manu Kone. The Nerazzurri are reportedly ready to make the French talent their most expensive signing in six years, a move that underscores their strong interest.
Inter's Strategic Pursuit of Kone
Inter's interest in Kone has been consistent since the previous summer transfer window. Recent updates indicate that the club plans to make a concrete approach for the 24-year-old once the 2025-26 season concludes. While Inter's immediate focus remains on securing the Scudetto, club attention will then shift entirely to the acquisition of Kone. Sources close to the club emphasize that they are not seeking a player "similar to" Kone, but specifically the Frenchman himself.
It is understood that Inter is prepared to invest in excess of €40 million to secure Kone's services from Roma. However, the Giallorossi may demand a figure closer to €50 million to part ways with the former Toulouse and Borussia Monchengladbach player.
Such an investment would represent a significant outlay for Inter, marking their largest single signing since the summer of 2020. At that time, they reportedly spent €43 million to bring in Achraf Hakimi, who went on to become a Scudetto winner with the club before moving to Paris Saint-Germain.
A key concern for the Nerazzurri is the impending 2026 World Cup. Should Kone deliver an impressive performance with the French national squad during the tournament, Roma's asking price could potentially skyrocket. Furthermore, Inter faces competition from other interested parties, including French giants PSG, according to recent reports.
