Inter Milan could still end up signing Manu Kone from Roma despite the capital club’s initial rejection.

According to Il Romanista via FCInterNews, the Giallorossi must raise an eye-watering €100 million in capital gains.

Cristian Chivu’s men have earmarked Manu Kone as an ideal midfield reinforcement after failing to sign Ademola Lookman.

Indeed, the San Siro giants have changed their transfer strategy after withdrawing from talks with Atalanta.

Therefore, the French star has quickly become the club’s new primary objective.

Inter Milan Handed Manu Kone Transfer Boost as Roma Need to Collect Lot of Money

Roma closed the door to Kone’s exit but may have to open it again reluctantly to balance the books.

Indeed, Gian Piero Gasperini’s charges must raise €100 million in capital gains to comply with the settlement agreement reached with UEFA.

Furthermore, time is running out as they have until July 2026 to find the money.

Worryingly, only a handful of players can help Roma hit this figure, and Kone is one of them.

As such, they may change their mind going into the transfer window finale.
