Roma’s pursuit of Manu Koné appears to be reaching its final stages, with the French midfielder expected to arrive in the Italian capital in the coming hours. The Giallorossi and Borussia Mönchengladbach are reportedly in the process of finalizing an agreement for the transfer, following Roma’s successful negotiations with the player himself.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports how this development comes after a morning of intense negotiations. Earlier, Borussia Mönchengladbach had rejected Roma’s initial offer for Koné, which was believed to be around €15 million. The German club deemed this amount insufficient, pushing for a higher fee.
Despite the initial setback, Roma’s persistence seems to have paid off. The club’s determination to secure Koné’s signature is evident in their swift response to the rejection, quickly working to bridge the gap between their valuation and Mönchengladbach’s demands.
Koné’s imminent arrival in Rome suggests that a breakthrough in negotiations has been achieved. This transfer would represent a significant coup for Roma, adding a highly-rated young midfielder to their squad as they look to strengthen their team for the upcoming season.
