Manu Kone, Kouadio Kone, has left an indelible mark on Borussia Monchengladbach fans with his play this season. The Bundesliga club are willing to sell him for the appropriate price after his impressive performances. These are especially against Bayern Munich, attracted the attention of larger teams.
Chelsea Newsnow: What’s the matter?
Premier League teams will not be deterred by Fabrizio Romano’s claim that he may cost about €50 million with add-ons. There are a number of teams interested in signing Kone, including Chelsea and Manchester United. The two Englishmen have been monitoring his whereabouts in anticipation of making contact with him formally this summer.
Chelsea has contacted Kone’s representatives to discuss the terms of a contract. At the outset of the next season, Todd Boehly would want to pair January acquisition Enzo Fernandez with a reliable and long-term teammate. N’Golo Kante’s contract may be extended. They have plans for other players as well.
They are also interested in signing midfielder Declan Rice, although they may lose out to Arsenal, who are now in the first place. Chelsea is considering a transfer for Kone. But the Red Devils pose a serious threat to the 21-year-old Bundesliga star.
Before committing to a new club, Kone will weigh his alternatives and consider a number of things. If Manchester United is serious about signing the 21-year-old Bundesliga star, they may offer him the added incentive of playing in the Champions League.
Will Manchester United get him?
The allure of Manchester United might outweigh Chelsea’s long-term project potential with promising young stars. Erik ten Hag, who is looking to bolster his roster with a new midfielder, will be hoping this is the case throughout the pursuit.
A new signing in January, Marcel Sabitzer may not make it through the summer. Casemiro urgently needs a partner. Ten Hag has done an excellent job of restoring calm at Old Trafford. He will likely want to add to his roster by making smart additions.
Both clubs from the Premier League are still in the running for Kone, although they may face competition from other teams in the future. The 21-year-old Bundesliga star will finish the season strong with Borussia Monchengladbach before considering his options this summer.
