Manu Koné attracts Premier League interest amid AS Roma transfer activity

AS Roma is navigating a busy transfer window involving several high-profile players. The club has officially signed 19-year-old Portuguese talent Rodrigo Mora from Porto, a move that notably allowed the club to complete its collection of squad numbers by assigning him the number 86.

Midfielder Manu Koné has emerged as a primary target for several Premier League clubs. Manchester City has identified the 25-year-old French international as a potential midfield reinforcement, valuing him at approximately £50 million. Manchester United and Chelsea are also reportedly interested in the player, though reports suggest Koné may only consider a move to Paris Saint-Germain if he leaves Rome. Roma has reportedly rejected bids below €50 million for the midfielder, who is currently seeking a contract upgrade.

Other transfer activity includes Roma's pursuit of Malick Fofana from Lyon and interest in Alessio Cacciamani from Torino. The club is also managing the potential departure of Matias Soulé, with AC Milan showing interest in a deal worth at least €35 million.
