Manu Kone’s camp contacts Arsenal as Roma seek revenue

Manu Kone's future at AS Roma is uncertain because the club faces Financial Fairplay issues. Roma must generate significant revenue by the end of the month to avoid fines, prompting his entourage to contact Arsenal and other Premier League clubs. Eleonora Trotta, reporting via VoceGiallorossa, confirmed that Kone’s entourage is actively seeking a new club for the midfielder. The group has already opened talks with Arsenal regarding a possible transfer. Arsenal is not the only Premier League side approached; other English clubs have also been contacted. No formal offers have been submitted yet, but the outreach suggests his exit is gaining momentum.

AS Roma has yet to complete any player sales, underscoring the club’s desperation to raise funds. The lack of sales intensifies pressure on the club to secure revenue before the month’s deadline. For Arsenal, Kone offers a press‑resistant midfielder who prefers to drive forward with the ball and possesses a reliable engine. Should Roma fail to sell additional players in the coming days, Arsenal could negotiate a discount on his transfer. The developing situation links Roma’s financial constraints with Arsenal’s potential midfield reinforcement, leaving the transfer window’s outcome still open.
