Manu Koné is undoubtedly one of the big winners of the last gathering of the French team. Convened by Didier Deschamps since last season after having played the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, AS Roma midfielder had declared us exclusively on June 16 that he had the objective of playing the next 2026 World Cup.
“”I don't think about it every day. But it is a goal. And for me, when you have a goal, you have to do things to get there. You say that in your head, I say to myself continues to do what you do. And if you work well, you will be there.Today, if no injury is annoying his plans, Koné is well placed to be on the trip if the Blues finish at the top of the classification of their group.
The forced AS Roma to sell Koné?
A rather obvious observation since the player managed to win alongside Aurélien Tchouameni in the tricolor midfield, ahead of Adrien Rabiot. Which is not to displease the Merengue. “”Manu is a top player. There are quite a few people who realize the quality it has. We have a superb relationship on and outside the field, it makes things simpler». Sparkling with the Blues against Ukraine (2-0) and Iceland (2-1), Koné sent a very clear message to Didier Deschamps. And this new status, if confirmed, could do the affairs of AS Roma.
Recruited in 2024 for € 18 million and under contract until 2029, Manu Koné will inevitably see his market value increase. And according to the Gazzetta dello Sporta big club is already ready to attack in the summer of 2026: Inter. The Nerazzurri missed the mark this summer, but the daily life with pink paper ensures that they will come back. No amount envisaged is mentioned, but AS Roma will undoubtedly be obliged to sell its French nugget. The reason? Giallorossi must find € 90 million by June 30. Suffice to say that elements with high market value may be sold. The opportunity for Manu Koné to give a new boost to her career.
