AS Rome demands €100m for Manu Koné after €60m offer

In the press room of the Stadio Olimpico, the sporting director of AS Rome reminded that the French midfielder Manu Koné remains under contract until June 2029 and that the club will not let him leave for any price. The English offer from Chelsea, estimated at 60 million euros, has been turned down, as has the interest from Atlético Madrid.

Valuation sharply rising

According to Transfermarkt, Koné's value rose from 50 to 60 million euros during September. It indicates that the Wolves' executives now demand 100 million euros to consider a discussion about his departure.

Performances that justify the price

The 25‑year‑old, a native of Colombes, is delivering a convincing start to the season, contributing to AS Rome's performances, currently at the top of the league. His growing role with the French national team also boosts his market attractiveness.

Reference to big English transfers

The club relies on the amounts observed in England this summer: Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernandez and Ayyoub Bouaddi were signed for sums close to or above 100 million euros, as was Sandro Tonali, who moved to Tottenham. But the price demanded for Koné remains a challenge for any suitor.

In summary, suitors will have to open their wallets to secure the services of Manu Koné, whose price is soaring in line with his performances.
