Report – Inter Milan To Make New Attempt To Sign Roma & France Midfielder After Failing Last Summer | OneFootball

Serie A giants Inter Milan are reportedly maintaining a keen interest in Roma stalwart Manu Kone.

According to L’Interista, the San Siro outfit will make a new attempt to sign the French midfielder at the end of the season.

Inter Milan had tried to sign the former Borussia Monchengladbach ace last summer.

However, Roma had no interest in parting ways with Manu Kone.

Therefore, Gian Piero Gasperini blocked the transfer, forcing Inter to lure Andy Diouf away from Lens in August.

Despite seeing their opening bid declined, Inter will not give up on their effort to sign the 24-year-old.

Indeed, Cristian Chivu reportedly views Kone as an upgrade on both Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Davide Frattesi.

Furthermore, both players could depart San Siro at the end of the season, which would only increase the need for a new midfielder.

Still, Kone, whose contract at the Stadio Olimpico runs out in 2029, won’t come cheap.
