Kone says ‘no’ to Atletico, Chelsea remain interested | OneFootball

Manu Koné’s future continues to dominate Roma’s agenda.

The French midfielder is one of the Giallorossi’s most sought-after players in this coming transfer window.

Koné reportedly rejected a move to Atlético Madrid. The Spanish club was ready to offer around €45 million, a figure deemed satisfactory by Roma. However, the player’s unwillingness to accept the offer put a damper on the deal, preventing any further progress.

However, the Premier League options remain open. According to Il Messaggero, Chelsea and Arsenal continue to monitor the former Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder with interest, but the Blues are particularly likely to be the key players.

A potential move by the London club would be linked to the future of Enzo Fernández, who is being closely monitored by Real Madrid.

According to rumors, José Mourinho is pushing to bring Enzo Fernandez to Real Madrid. Should the Argentine leave Chelsea, Koné could become the leading candidate to succeed him. Meanwhile,

Roma, along with sporting director Tony D’Amico, are closely monitoring the situation, aware that a significant offer from the Premier League could rapidly change the transfer scenario.
