During the World Cup period, transfer rumours are circulating. Some players already know their next clubs, like Ibrahima Konaté who has left Liverpool for Real Madrid. His France teammate Manu Koné is also attracting strong interest. The 25-year-old midfielder, who grew up in the Paris region and was born in Colombes, previously played for Paris FC. Now, a return to the capital with Paris Saint-Germain appears to be his priority.

Manu Koné pushed towards exit at Roma for financial reasons

Roma are under pressure to make sales before the end of their financial year on June 30. Manu Koné, a regular starter for the Giallorossi, is one of the players on the list. Several options have been discussed, including a move to Atlético de Madrid, but the French international is not convinced by that prospect. His preference is clear: a return to Ligue 1.

Manu Koné wants PSG as priority, transfer could cost up to €50m

Koné’s ideal destination if he leaves Rome is Paris Saint-Germain. The midfielder previously played for Toulouse FC in Ligue 1 and would welcome a move back to France. A transfer to the Premier League also remains possible, but PSG is his main target for the summer window, which closes on September 1. The operation is expected to cost between €45 and €50 million, a fee that could test PSG’s ambition this summer.
