Arsenal is reportedly intensifying efforts to secure the midfield services of Manu Kone from AS Roma. Sources indicate that the 25-year-old French player has reached an agreement on personal terms with his representatives. Kone has become a primary target for the London club as they look to strengthen their squad during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The interest from Arsenal is reportedly bolstered by Roma’s current financial circumstances. The North London club has reportedly made significant progress in negotiations to acquire the French midfielder. According to Corriere della Sera, Kone had previously shown interest in a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain and had also turned down approaches from Atlético Madrid.
However, the reported difficulty for the French champions to finalize a deal appears to have shifted Kone’s focus. Arsenal’s pursuit of Kone suggests a strategic move to bolster their midfield depth. The player is currently associated with the French national team, with his participation noted for the 2026 World Cup cycle.
The reported agreement on personal terms indicates that the key hurdle in the transfer—securing the player’s buy-in—may have been cleared, positioning Arsenal favorably in their bid for the talented French asset.
