𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: Manchester United have accelerated their pursuit of Manu Koné

Manchester United have reportedly intensified their pursuit of French midfielder Manu Koné, with fresh reports claiming the club has already reached an agreement on personal terms through the player’s representatives. The development is seen as a major step forward in United’s efforts to strengthen their midfield ahead of the new season.

With the player’s side now said to be on board, Manchester United are turning their full attention to negotiations with AS Roma. The Premier League club are currently assessing the best way to structure an official offer that could persuade the Italian outfit to sell one of their key midfielders during the summer transfer window.

Roma, however, are not expected to make the deal easy. Reports indicate the Serie A club value Koné at no less than €45 million and are unwilling to lower their asking price. United must now decide whether to meet that valuation outright or include add-ons and performance-related bonuses in an attempt to reach an agreement.

Koné has attracted interest for his energy, defensive awareness, and ability to progress the ball from midfield, making him a player United believe could add quality and depth to their squad. While talks between the clubs are yet to reach a conclusion, the agreement on personal terms is viewed as a positive sign that the transfer could gather momentum if Roma are satisfied with the financial package presented.
