Manchester United is closing in on a deal for French midfielder Manu Kone from Roma, having reached an agreement on personal terms. Negotiations with the Italian club are still ongoing to finalize the transfer.
CaughtOffside reports that Manchester United's management is currently working to reach an agreement with Roma, while insisting on not exceeding the financial valuation they set for the player.
Manchester United's interest in signing Coné is part of manager Michael Carrick's strategy to bolster the midfield, following the acquisitions of Youri Tielemans and André Santos during the summer transfer window.
TEAMtalk reports that Manchester United is ready to make an offer worth around €50 million, while Roma could ask for more than €60 million if they receive interest from other clubs.
Despite reaching an agreement with the player, the transfer won't be finalized until both clubs agree on the fee.
Manchester United is eager to conclude negotiations swiftly and sign Koné, who has experience in both the German and Italian leagues, without compromising their financial policy in the transfer market.
