Newcastle eyes Manu Kone as replacement for Tonali

Summary

Newcastle United is pursuing Manu Kone as a replacement for Sandro Tonali, who recently transferred to Tottenham. Kone, currently focused on the World Cup with France, has had a solid season with AS Roma and played the full match in France's 1-0 win over Paraguay. The French midfielder is valued at approximately €50 million, a figure Newcastle can accommodate following the Tonali deal, which was worth around €108 million plus bonuses. Kone’s future at Roma is uncertain as the club navigates its own strategic moves after losing Tonali.
