According to Tuttomercato, Kone is considered unsellable by Roma, but his future remains uncertain in the transfer market. For Roma's management and coach Alessandro Piero Gasperini, the French midfielder is a crucial pillar of the team and is not on the transfer list. However, Roma has set a clear price threshold; the club owners will only consider letting him go if they receive an offer exceeding €55 million. According to Corriere dello Sport, Roma showed a firm stance in June, rejecting Atletico Madrid's €35 million offer, deeming it insufficient, even though the club is subject to Financial Fair Play regulations.
Premier League threat
Reports continue to emerge from England that Premier League clubs are keenly interested in the defensive midfielder who impressed at the World Cup. Besides Manchester United, who have been monitoring the French player, Manchester City, despite having already signed André Santos and being close to bringing in Carlos Baleba from Brighton, have also surfaced in recent hours. The Enzo Maresca-managed team, after the departures of Rodri and Reinds and the signing of Elliott Anderson from Nottingham Forest, are still looking to strengthen their midfield. They are currently monitoring Koné, while also considering Chelsea's Enzo Fernandes and Lille's Bouadi, although these targets are valued significantly higher.
With approximately 10 days remaining before the summer transfer window closes, Gasperini and Roma's stance remains firm: the team's key players will not be sold. If English clubs cannot offer significantly higher bids to fully meet the demands of the Trigoria training ground, then Kone continuing to wear the Roma jersey next season remains the most realistic outcome.
