last week, news emerged that Inter Milan are interested in Roma midfielder Manu Kone.

The Frenchman has come into the Nerazzurri’s sights as a reinforcement in holding midfield.

Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio sheds some light on Roma’s decision to reject the bid from Inter for Kone.

“The offer that the Nerazzurri presented was deemed to be too low by the GIallorossi to allow the player to leave,” he said.

“The Friedkins still confirmed to Sporting Director Massara and coach Gasperini that they want to strengthen the squad,” he noted.

“However, they want to avoid selling key players.”
