in recent months, Manchester United Central defender Ivan Ndika and central midfielder Manu Kone have been mentioned as contenders. AS Roma’s financial situation is not very good and they may be forced to make a major sale as early as this summer.
earlier this year, sports witness Covered how the Red Devils were competing with Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid for the midfielder. The Nerazzurri also tried to sign the Frenchman in the summer but Roma rejected the sale.
As for Ndika, he joined on a free in 2023. His rise since then has been significant, with Manchester United initial contact For the protector. This was causing panic among the Giallorossi, who wanted to end it €40m for permanent sale.
Both the Ivorian and Kone are key players for Roma, who are struggling in sixth place in Serie A. All of this could now play a role in his potential exit.
Financial problems again at Roma’s door
tutomercatoweb Report that according to Roma’s agreement with UEFA last year, they have to make a major sale ‘by June 30’.
This will be known as a big capital gain and will ease their financial position. This will be especially true if Gian Piero Gasperini’s side finish outside the top four and miss out on Champions League money.
Ndika and Kone are the main candidates to depart and evaluations are underway to see if offers will come for them.
Mattias Sule, Nicolo Picilli and Mile Swiller are also players who will guarantee big capital gains. But Friedkin ownership would only accept sensational offers for him, with the demands for Cone and Ndika probably being more reasonable.
This should appeal to Manchester United, as the centre-back is likely to be available around €35m. This is lower than previously reported and the nature of Ndika’s free agency arrival is the main reason.
Meanwhile, who came €20 million and his improvement means he could double that figure. Still, for Manchester United, he looks like a good bet for their cheap midfield arrival this summer.
Our take: Which transfer makes more sense?
Manchester United has many defensive options in the team. Lisandro Martínez, Ayden Haven, Matthijs de Ligt and even Luke Shaw can play at left centre-back. Lenny Yarrow also served in that role.
The midfield remains a troublesome hole, as evidenced by Monday’s defeat to Leeds United. With Casemiro and perhaps Manuel Ugarte gone, 24-year-old Kone would be an excellent candidate to replace at least one of the two.
The Frenchman is best as a number eight, which makes him somewhat similar to Kobi Manu. But seeing as how Manchester United needed a midfielder last summer, they also need another proven number eight.
