Serie A giants Roma are reportedly willing to listen to offers for Manu Kone, heavily linked with a move to Inter Milan in the summer.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Financial Fair Play rules have forced Roma to change Kone’s transfer status.
Indeed, Inter identified Manu Kone as their top midfield target in the last transfer window.
Furthermore, they even allocated €40 million to secure his signature.
However, Roma refused to negotiate the Frenchman’s exit.
Despite fending off Inter’s approach in August, Roma may soon sell Kone.
Indeed, the Giallorossi must comply with FFP rules.
That requires them to raise around €90 million from player sales.
With Kone one of the team’s most prized assets, he could be among the first to go.
Meanwhile, Inter’s interest in the 24-year-old has never faded.
Despite the arrival of Andy Diouf from Lens, they’re still keen to sign the ex-Borussia Moncengladbach star.
Though it looked improbable a month ago, things could change as early as January.
However, a deal of this magnitude will likely have to wait until next summer.
