Manu Koné has put transfer rumors to rest, at least for now.

The French midfielder, linked to several European clubs in recent weeks and at the center of numerous rumors regarding his future, prefers to focus exclusively on his national team.

When asked about the rumors surrounding him, including those regarding Inter Milan and a possible departure from Roma, the player chose not to comment.

“Honestly, right now I’m only thinking about the World Cup. It’s my first major international competition, a tournament I’ve always dreamed of playing in. I want to stay focused exclusively on that.”

These words confirm the Frenchman’s desire to put any transfer-related discussions aside at least until the end of the competition.

Koné then postponed any evaluation until the coming weeks, without closing or opening up any specific scenarios: “We’ll talk about the future after the World Cup and see what happens.”
