newcastle united Manu is curious about the deal and has rekindled hopes of a deal.
The midfielder has been a key player for AS Roma since joining from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2024. His dynamic skills have become quite a threat in Serie A, with Gian Piero Gasperini bringing more out of him this season.
A few weeks ago, sports witness Newcastle United's interest in the Frenchman was widely covered. Roma's financial situation was a major reason behind this, as they had to sell players by the end of June to stay within UEFA restrictions.
After a period of chaos, the Italian team now finds itself in the Champions League spots. There is still a game left and they are two points ahead of Como and Juventus.
Ideally, this would remove financial uncertainties, but that may not be the case.
Roma still interested in sale
Today, messenger Make it clear that Kone is still a leading candidate to leave Roma in the summer. Even though Champions League qualification will help them, the Giallorossi will hope to 'rain millions' from the sale of Kone.
A big name is expected to leave the Stadio Olimpico and the France international could be that player.
Newcastle United's interest comes amid indications that Kone's squad are offering him their surroundings. In recent weeks, Atlético Madrid were offered the chance to sign him but they did not take part.
It comes as there is new hope for the Magpies, with Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain also in the picture.
Roma's game against Verona at the weekend is expected to be Kone's last game for the club. However, it is very likely that his evaluation will depend on how he performs at the World Cup with Les Bleus.
It's probably hard for a magpie to move
Newcastle United's failure to qualify for Europe would hinder their hopes of signing Kone. He has played in the Europa League at Roma and Inter and PSG could offer him Champions League football.
The Nerazzurri have been long-time admirers and tried to sign him last summer. PSG will be an opportunity for him to return to his country.
He could be a very suitable replacement for Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali. But the final decision must come to the ex-Gladbach man, who may prefer another club.
