Inter Milan are ready to offer the same fee to Roma for Manu Kone as they’ve offered for Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman.
This according to Italian broadcaster SportItalia, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri are ready to put a bid of around €45 million on the table.
Yesterday, news emerged that Inter Milan are interested in Roma midfielder Manu Kone.
The Frenchman has come into the Nerazzurri’s sights as a reinforcement in holding midfield.
Kone signed for Roma just twelve months ago, arriving from Borrusia Monchengladbach.
However, after a successful season in Serie A, the Giallorossi could sell him for a profit from the €18 million they paid last summer.
According to SportItalia, Inter are ready to offer around €45 million including add-ons for Kone.
And that amount is not a coincidence.
Inter had already offered around €45 million with add-ons to Atalanta for Ademola Lookman. They increased an initial bid of €40 million to reach that figure.
However, La Dea have firmly rejected Inter’s bids for the Nigerian.
Therefore, it looks as though Inter could simply be reallocating the fee they were willing to pay for Lookman to a move for Manu Kone.
