Manu Koné, a 25-year-old midfielder from AS Roma, is rumored to strengthen the midfield of Real Madrid in future transfer markets. The white club has been monitoring the French international for some time, whose contract runs until 2029 with a price tag of around 60 million euros.

The tracking is not recent. The international football department led by Juni Calafat has watched the player live on several occasions and analyzed his performance again in AS Roma's Serie A debut, which ended with a 4-0 victory over Fiorentina.

Manu Koné, a 60-million option for Real Madrid

The interest in Manu Koné is part of the club's midfield planning. The Frenchman is among the studied alternatives, although the sports management handles more names considering the upcoming transfer windows.

Koné arrived at Roma in 2024 after his time at Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he established himself after starting his professional career at Toulouse. His link with the Italian club extends until 2029, setting the initial point for a potential operation at around 60 million euros.

His profile offers specific arguments. In the last Serie A season, he recorded a 90% pass success rate, excelling in recovery, pressure, and duels. In the current international qualifiers with France, he even reaches a 96.25% pass accuracy, with 271 completed passes out of 282 attempted.

The midfielder has also gained prominence with France, accumulating 19 caps. During the last World Cup, he entered the starting XI after Aurélien Tchouaméni's injury and played against Iraq, Norway, Paraguay, and Morocco.

Real Madrid's squad is closed this summer

The immediate scenario, however, does not include the arrival of Manu Koné. Real Madrid considers their squad closed for this market, and José Mourinho has already stated publicly that he is working with the currently available players.

The club maintains this plan even considering the possibility of incoming moves from the Premier League. Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea are seeking alternatives for their midfield, with both Eduardo Camavinga and Tchouaméni potentially attracting interest in England.

The Frenchman recently extended his contract until 2031, while Camavinga's future continues to draw attention in the final stretch of the market. Nevertheless, a departure would not automatically lead to a new signing before the window closes.

Tchouaméni could facilitate his transfer

The connection between Koné and Tchouaméni also extends to representation. Both belong to Excellence Sport Nation (ESN), an agency led by Jonathan Kebe and Jérémy Ramalingam, which also works with players like Jules Koundé, Mike Maignan, Bryan Mbeumo, and Senny Mayulu.

Hence, Manu Koné is identified as a future alternative for the midfield of the LaLiga team. With a contract until 2029 and a valuation of 60 million, the next step for Real Madrid will be to continue monitoring the AS Roma player and evaluate his situation when the market reopens.
