Will Manu Kohn be sold?
AS Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini has acknowledged the club’s need to abide by Financial Fair Play regulations. He hinted at a possible sale of the French midfielder.
He said (h/t AllRoma): “What about his future? I think these Financial Fair Play conditions are by no means precise and defined. They vary from team to team. Roma also need to make ends meet, which has become a burden in recent years.”
“We thought it would be enough to get back into the Champions League, but it is clear that the financial statements are extremely important for the club and I believe that will become even clearer in the coming weeks.”
