Manchester United Intensifies Pursuit of Manù Konè Amid Roma's €60m Stance

Manchester United have moved decisively in their pursuit of Manù Konè, pushing the French midfielder towards the centre of Roma’s summer storyline.

According to journalist Lorenzo Canicchio, United have intensified direct contact with the player and made tangible progress towards a personal agreement. The conversation is no longer exploratory; it is now about fine details and timing.

One key piece is still missing.
The bid.

Roma are waiting for it, and they know exactly what they want to see. The Giallorossi continue to value Konè at around €60 million, a figure that sets a clear marker for any Premier League suitor trying to test their resolve.

For now, the situation hangs in a delicate balance. On one side, a club that has opened the door to negotiations but not to discounts. On the other, a giant of English football that appears ready to accelerate.

Canicchio reports that Manchester United’s formal offer could arrive in the coming days, a move that would instantly shift the negotiation from theory to confrontation. Once that proposal lands on Roma’s desk, the real game begins: will the Red Devils meet the asking price, or try to bend it to their will?
