Manu Koné, the 23-year-old midfielder under contract until June 2029 at AS Roma following his transfer last summer, has been mentioned again recently as a target for Paris Saint-Germain. Corriere dello Sport revived this old rumor on Thursday. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reacted with a clear statement.
It’s hard to be more precise, as there’s nothing between PSG and Manu Koné. These denials are also just rumours, as they are not official statements. But they come from reliable journalists, and the idea of a transfer of the French midfielder to Paris this summer is not particularly credible.
He’s an interesting player, of course. But he arrived in Rome last summer and imposed himself, leaving no room for the idea of a desired departure. So, if PSG particularly wanted and could have recruited him, it could have been last summer. We expect to see further progress this summer. Even if surprises are always possible.
