With Savinho and Omar Malmush poised to join Tottenham, Manchester City may continue to invest in rebuilding their midfield. According to the Daily Mail, Manu Koné is one of the Citizens' targets in the final stages of the transfer window.

As we previously disclosed, Ayoub Bouadi remains the primary target. In contrast, Manu Koné's characteristics complement Bouadi's, leaning more towards physicality, forward runs, and off-the-ball movement. The Frenchman's value has surged in recent months. His outstanding performance for Roma in Serie A last season, followed by his World Cup form, has driven up Roma's asking price. The Serie A club, which reportedly rejected a €40 million offer from Atlético Madrid, now demands between €50 million and €60 million.
