Roma set a huge condition for selling Manu Koné

AS Roma have raised their asking price for French midfielder Manu Koné to €100 million for his departure during the upcoming winter transfer window . According to the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma would not object to selling Koné in January, but only for a substantial fee, given the interest from several clubs in the French international . Chelsea had previously shown serious interest in signing Koné before the London club decided to pursue Lamine Camara instead, a deal that ultimately fell through . At the time, estimates suggested Koné's transfer could be completed for around €60 million, but Roma's stance has changed. The club is now demanding a significantly higher fee should they decide to sell the player mid-season . It remains unclear whether Chelsea, or any other club, will be willing to meet Roma's asking price for Koné in January . Chelsea may return to the transfer market in search of a new midfielder, given the team's need to strengthen this position, especially with Moises Caicedo out due to injury.
