Aston Villa AS Roma are pursuing Matias Sule and are now considering another player from the same team.

sports witness Unai has covered for Emery, making the initial contact for Argentina.

They want to take advantage of Roma’s financial situation, as they have until the end of June to execute the sale.

Aston Villa could help them with another sale as a potential exit from Rome takes shape.

interest in the corner

dejeroma tv Report that the player in question is Manu Kone, the Giallorossi’s most important player. What’s more, he is probably their most valuable player as well.

Aston Villa view him as a potential target, with Unai Emery said to be an admirer of the France international.

Roma finds his exit inevitable. They need ‘significant offers’ to sell Kone, with the outlet also highlighting the Villans’ interest in Sole.

The midfielder’s price tag has not been decided yet. This is because new sporting director Tony D’Amico has not yet taken over. But the Italian is unlikely to stop selling, with Gian Piero Gasperini also happy to part ways.

Which could be an important signature

The 25-year-old looks like Emery would love him. He works between the lines, is press resistant and his mobility makes him a threat going forward.

The cost of the con is not expected to exceed €50m. He is at the right age and will play in the World Cup as well. Aston Villa could promise him Champions League football and better wages.

Inter Milan were initially keen but they are now focusing on Curtis Jones instead.

Youssouf Fofana has not had a good season at AC Milan, but fans of the Frenchman remain Aston Villa And tottenham.

The midfielder joins the Rossoneri from Monaco in 2024 for a fee of €25m. Last season, he looked to be worth the money, performing quite well in a campaign that was full of instability for Milan.

Under Max Allegri in the current season, Fofana looks like a shadow of himself.

He has played 32 times in all competitions and contributed six goals but has also faced a lot of criticism. Defensive problems have been the main cause for concern, with the player clearly not fitting into the Italian system.

Earlier this week, sports witness Covered claims about West Ham’s interest in the midfielder. It was certain that he would leave Milan.

Now, the pressure is being put on Tottenham and Aston Villa.

Offers are already on the table

gazzetta dello sport Report AC Milan will drastically redesign its midfield next season. They are ready to move away from Fofana and are looking for the right offer to sell him in the summer.

Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are interested but the France international does not want to move to Türkiye.

He appears keen on a move to the Premier League, especially as Aston Villa and Tottenham have already made offers to his squad. The London club’s move entirely depends on their survival in the Premier League.

Reports indicate that an agreement with the player is unlikely to be a problem. It will all depend on how much both clubs pay Milan.

Yet, Allegri’s side do not believe that Fofana’s value has diminished since they signed him. As a result, he is expected to demand around €25m.

Our Opinion: Deal likely to be straightforward

Fofana needs to reinvigorate his career and this can only happen at a new club. For now, Allegri’s stay seems certain and the Frenchman is struggling with the defensive demands of his approach.

The right move for England could help Fofana a lot. Tottenham need players in midfield who will add dynamism to the center of the park. The former Monaco player is likely to play in the World Cup and this could further increase his value.

That’s why Spurs and Aston Villa should make a quick move for the 27-year-old, who will certainly be of interest. It will not be difficult to fulfill Milan’s demands.

AS Roma need to secure €80m in capital gains by June 30^th could give Manchester United Easy route to midfielder Manu Kone or Ivan Ndika.

Il Messagero reports on the situation today And how the red carpet could be rolled out for Manchester United this summer.

incoming revenue

The newspaper reports that Roma are working to reduce that figure as much as possible. They have already signed various sponsorship deals and are expecting around €15m from the Lega Serie A deal with IMG.

This will help them breathe easier, but there is a possibility of a sale, especially if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Manu Kone is likely to be the prime candidate for sale. He has a lot of suitors, including Inter Milan. In fact, according to Il Messaggero, he is the one who is ‘closest to a possible departure’.

Manchester United have been linked for months.

a report from january They were named as contenders along with PSG, Atlético Madrid and Inter. Three months later, again a report Manchester United was in the mix as it was explained that Roma needed to sell.

The situation is similar with Ndica also. He is also one of the big names who will be ‘forced to say goodbye’ in the coming months. All indications are that the Italian club will open its doors to bids to help balance the books.

manchester united needs

Of the two players, Manu Kone means the most to Manchester United. They are in need of a new defensive midfielder following the departure of Casemiro this summer.

There is also an expectation that Manuel Ugarte will be moved, so Cone could be the answer. And at 24 years old, Kobi will represent a long-term investment and long-term partner for Manu.

It all depends on the asking price, which is expected to be €45m. But Roma are desperate for money, so it is unlikely to be a fixed price by any means.

Instead, the need for money makes the Frenchman a potential bargain option for Manchester United and others.

on thursday, crystal Palace A 2–1 defeat to Fiorentina in the UEFA Conference League.

Despite the defeat, the Eagles booked a place in the semi-finals of the competition thanks to a 3–0 win in the first leg at Selhurst Park.

It cost Crystal Palace progress to the next round as Maxence Lacroix and Adam Wharton both suffered injuries.

Jefferson Lerma replaced Wharton in the 30th minute. A few minutes later, the centre-back collided with his Crystal Palace teammate Daniel Munoz.

The France international suffered a knee injury and was replaced by Chady Riyad in the 41st minute.

After the match, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner said that the defender’s injury would be painful.

“Maxence was in foot-to-foot contact. Then he felt his knee, the medial ligament, so let’s take a look but it’s painful,” He said.

Update from France on Crystal Palace player

last november The guard’s team made it clear His goal is to represent Les Blues at the World Cup.

His impressive performances for Crystal Palace helped him earn his debut for France during the last international break. He has played two matches and will be a contender for a place in Didier Deschamps’ squad for the World Cup.

There were some concerns raised in France after Max Lacroix was forced to leave the field on Thursday.

parisian Ignore concerns of a serious setback, and his headline suggests his replacement against the Serie A team yesterday was ‘as a precaution’.

In the report, the newspaper has clarified that it is its own information, and states that the knee pain is due to a ‘minor collision’.

Eagles defender shouldn’t be out long

Crystal Palace will face West Ham United in a Premier League match on Monday. There is no indication or suggestion whether the Frenchman will face the Hammers or not.

It is unclear whether Maxence Lacroix will be available for Crystal Palace’s next match. However, he is unlikely to be out for long as it is a ‘minor bump’.

The Eagles have six Premier League and at least two Conference League matches left this season. Oliver Glasner’s side will face Shakhtar Donetsk in the semi-finals of the European competition in May.

Team USA’s decision to leave Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown off the roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics became a hot-button topic. It was a curious call, to say the least, as Brown was coming off winning a championship with the Celtics and being named Finals MVP.

Even when Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard withdrew to focus on recovering from his knee problems, Team USA chose Celtics guard Derrick White over Brown as a replacement.

Brown did not hide his displeasure at being snubbed. Now, he has a good chance to make the roster and prove himself right. But is he still interested in playing for Team USA?

While discussing Team USA’s potential roster for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics on “Run It Back”, former NBA player Chandler Parsons said that Brown should be included.

“Jaylen Brown is the biggest thing. They’ve got to find Jaylen Brown. Let go. Let go and put him on the team,” Parsons said.

However, he added that the 29-year-old Brown may only want to play for a different country out of spite.

Parsons said, “I think he’s the type of guy that’s going to get citizenship somewhere else and actually keep it with us.”

“Go to France. Do you have any French somewhere?” Co-host Michelle Beadle responded.

It is unknown whether Brown, who grew up in Marietta, Georgia, has any ancestry other than American, so it may be very difficult for him to obtain a different citizenship before the next Olympics.

If Brown ever surprisingly suits up for France, as Beadle has suggested, he would make Les Bleus even stronger, joining San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert, Atlanta Hawks forward Zachary Rissacher and Washington Wizards center Alex Sarr.
