Manchester United have initiated contact with AS Roma over a potential transfer for midfielder Manu Koné, but face strong competition from Chelsea.
The 25-year-old French international is currently on loan at Roma from Borussia Mönchengladbach. His solid performances in Serie A have attracted significant interest.
Roma has reportedly set a high transfer fee, valuing Koné at a minimum of €50 million. The outcome of this transfer battle could significantly shape the squads of both Premier League clubs ahead of the 2026-27 season.
