Roma is reportedly engaged in negotiations with Chelsea regarding the transfer of midfielder Manu Kone. Despite these discussions, both coach Gian Piero Gasperini and sporting director Tony D’Amico have strongly advised against the player’s departure. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Serie A club, Roma, is believed to have declined a bid from Chelsea.
The London club reportedly submitted an initial offer valued at 60 million euros for the French midfielder. Furthermore, Chelsea was also reportedly willing to facilitate a loan move for Jamie Gittens to Olimpico in addition to the transfer bid. However, Gasperini and D’Amico have publicly advocated for Kone’s retention at Roma.
They have urged the club’s owners to pursue negotiations to keep the player at the club. The interest from Chelsea suggests a significant valuation for the player, with the initial offer reaching the substantial figure of 60 million euros. The reports indicate that while Chelsea presented a high-value package, the club’s management, including the coaching staff, remains committed to keeping Kone within the squad.
