Manu Kone appears set to stay with Roma amid transfer interest

Summary

Roma's Manu Kone is linked with multiple top clubs this summer, including Manchester City. Despite initial concerns regarding Kone's future at the Stadio Olimpico, reports indicate that Roma is growing confident he will remain with the team. Manchester City may have to pay €55 million for Kone, but their focus seems to have shifted to other targets. Roma previously considered Kone's sale due to Financial Fair Play regulations, but no formal offers were made from English clubs, while Atletico Madrid's approach fell short of expectations. As the transfer window progresses, Kone's situation remains under close observation.
