Manchester United speeds up to sign Manu Koné

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Manchester United board keeps continuous contact with the French international's entourage to finalize the last details of his personal contract. Following the unsuccessful attempt to sign Mateus Fernandes at the beginning of the transfer window, the technical secretary has placed the midfielder as the top option to strengthen the team.

AS Roma is asking for 60 million euros to greenlight the player's departure, who increased his value after his participation in the 2026 World Cup with the French national team. However, the British club's offices are confident that the proposed 50 million euros can serve as a meeting point to avoid the interference of Saudi Arabian clubs that are also monitoring the player's situation.

Reorganization of Manchester United's midfield for the Champions League

The addition of the midfielder responds to the coaching staff's need to add a profile capable of controlling the game's pace and providing defensive rigor. With this signing, Manchester United aims to balance its midfield to face the demands of the Premier League and the Champions League during the 2026/2027 season.

The pivot's signing will complement the previous investments made by the club in the same position during the current summer window, where the arrivals of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans were secured. The physical and technical versatility demonstrated in Italy endorses the midfielder as the final piece needed to conclude the midfield restructuring at Old Trafford.

Negotiations between Manchester United and AS Roma will enter their decisive phase during the upcoming summits scheduled for the last week of July 2026.

The final agreement will depend on the flexibility of the Italian club to adjust the final price to the 50 million euros proposal and define the payment terms structure, allowing Manchester United to schedule the player's medical examination before the official start of the preseason.
