Roma have announced the acquisition of French midfielder Manu Koné from Borussia Mönchengladbach. The 23-year-old joins the Giallorossi on an initial loan deal with a mandatory purchase option.
Koné, a rising star in European football, arrives in the Italian capital after three successful seasons with Borussia Mönchengladbach. The dynamic midfielder began his professional career with Toulouse before making the move to the Bundesliga in 2021.
Known for his versatility and technical ability, Koné has already made a significant impact on the international stage. He played a crucial role in France’s silver medal-winning campaign at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. His performances have not gone unnoticed by national team coach Didier Deschamps, who has included Koné in the senior French squad.
Roma’s acquisition of Koné represents a significant coup for the club, as they continue to strengthen their midfield options under manager Antonio Conte. The Frenchman’s arrival is expected to add depth and quality to Roma’s squad as they pursue domestic and European success.
Upon joining the club, Koné has been assigned the number 17 shirt. Roma fans will be eager to see their new signing in action as he prepares to make his debut in Serie A.
