Roma are ready to beat Milan to the signing of Gladbach midfielder Manu Kone.
As the transfer window draws to a close, Roma appear ready to make a decisive move for the 23-year-old, who Milan are keen on signing.
AC Milan, who were initially looking to sign the French midfielder, are now blocked from doing so due to the situation surrounding Ismael Bennacer and squad restrictions.
Therefore, Roma are now in a good position to sign Manu Kone.
According to Lete SportsOfficial contact between Roma and Borussia Mönchengladbach is expected to take place within the next few hours.
The Germans, who value Kone at around €20 million, could be tempted by the offer Roma have prepared, which would include a fixed fee close to the asking price plus €3-4 million in bonuses.
Roma can use the cost savings (around €4.4 million) from the end of Rick Karsdorf’s contract to operate Kone.
With these resources in hand, the Giallorossi are now in a better position to make competitive offers and secure a talented midfielder.
