Manchester City are reportedly showing interest in Roma midfielder Manu Koné after Manchester United’s pursuit appears to stall. Multiple reports in England say United were deterred by Roma’s €60 million asking price, leading the club not to proceed with a deal.
With United’s interest cooling, Koné’s situation draws attention from other Premier League clubs. Football Italia and Yahoo Sports both frame City as a potential alternative destination, suggesting the midfielder could be added to their recruitment plans depending on the terms and timing of any transfer talks.
The outlets describe a similar sequence of events: initial United interest, a price disagreement, and then renewed speculation about City’s interest. While details on whether negotiations begin or how far they go are not confirmed, the reports collectively indicate that Koné’s valuation is central to the decision-making from competing suitors.
