AS Roma midfielder Manu Kone continues to attract significant interest from the Premier League.
According to la roma 24Arsenal and Liverpool have already made inquiries for the 25-year-old midfielder, while Manchester United are said to be in contact with his agent about a possible move.
Manchester United are very interested in signing the player, who would cost around 60 million euros after his impressive performance at the World Cup. They are in constant contact with the internationals and Kone would be open to a move to the Premier League if the right opportunity presents itself.
Manchester United need more physicality and defensive strength in the middle of the park and he could be ideal for them. They have already signed Andrej Santos and Youri Tielemans. It is clear that strengthening their midfield unit is a top priority for them this summer.
Similarly, Arsenal and Liverpool need more quality in the center of the park. The French international has the physical and technical attributes suited to English football and could be an asset for both clubs. He will help them control the tempo of the game and maintain possession. He has the physicality and tactical discipline to help them defensively as well.
The €60 million asking price is quite high and could complicate matters for clubs wishing to sign the player. It remains to be seen whether the Italian organization will be prepared to lower its demands and accept a reasonable fee.
All three Premier League clubs have the financial power to make a deal, but they will not want to take it beyond the realm of possibility. They need to improve multiple areas of their team and will be wary of paying a premium.
