Manu Koné is stealing the show at the World Cup for France.

The Roma midfielder, along with Rabiot, forms an insurmountable barrier, not to mention the physical strength that allows Deschamps’ national team to hit the ground running, thanks in part to the qualities of the 2001-born player.

The former Borussia Mönchengladbach player is popular with Manchester United, who have scuppered negotiations with Atalanta for Ederson.

As Corriere dello Sport reports, rumors from across the Channel are growing increasingly insistent that the English club is making a move to sign Manu Koné.

However, Roma has no intention of letting go of Manu Koné.

The Giallorossi midfielder, unlike Soulé, is considered a starter for next season.

The Roman club has set a price for the 2001-born player: only offers of at least €60 million will be considered. Manchester United invested €46 million for Ederson, a figure that wouldn’t be enough to convince Roma to sell Koné.

Gasperini considers the Frenchman a cornerstone of his project, especially because he has unique midfield qualities that can transform the face of any team.

The former Borussia Mönchengladbach player continues to play his World Cup with France, awaiting further developments. Meanwhile, Roma has made it clear: they won’t be negotiating for less than €60 million.
