While AC Milan and Roma continue to negotiate with each other over a Tammy Abraham and Alexis Saelemaekers exchange deal, they are competing with one another for Manu Kone.
According to Sky, both Milan and Roma want to sign the talented midfielder from Borussia Mönchengladbach and both clubs are ready to offer around €15m, but the German club would like more.
In addition to believing that he is worth a higher fee than what has been put forward by the Italian clubs, there is the added caveat of having to give a percentage of any proceeds to Toulouse and a percentage to the entourage of the Frenchman.
The Giallorossi should have held direct talks with the player’s agent today, with whom Milan have been in dialogue for some time, also because he is the representative of Mike Maignan and there have been renewal talks on that front.
In the last season with Borussia Mönchengladbach, Kone collected 22 appearances in the Bundesliga with one goal. It seems that he wishes say goodbye to the German club after three and a half years to move to Serie A, with Milan having been keen on him since he was at Toulouse three years ago.
