Kone’s market value skyrockets to €100 million | OneFootball

Manu Koné led Roma in the first half against Inter, giving every fan watching the match a dream come true.

It was an extraordinary brace from the French midfielder, who isn’t used to scoring.

Perhaps he’s entering a new dimension in football. Gasperini is transforming him from a defensive midfielder to a striker, from a defensive player to a player capable of breaking into the opposition box.

The 2001-born player never stops growing, and so does his rating.

Manu Koné is among the best midfielders in Europe. His price tag, after his brace against Inter, could reach three figures.

As Corriere dello Sport reports, the Frenchman delivered a superb performance against Barella and Zielinski. Only four goals in his first 67 Serie A matches, and the feeling is that after his two goals against Chivu’s side, the 2001-born player’s relationship with the goal could change radically.

Cristante drops much deeper, while Koné rises higher in midfield. Roma rejected several clubs’ interest in the former Borussia Mönchengladbach player this summer, with Chelsea considering a €60 million offer but failing to submit one.

That figure now seems far off; if Mateus Fernandes went to Tottenham for €99 million and Tonali for €108 million, why would Koné stay below €100 million?
