Reports from Italy claim that Marcus Rashford’s name has been mentioned in talks between Roma and Manchester United over a possible transfer of Manu Kone.

However, the chances of the Giallorossi reaching a deal for the English striker appear slim.

Manchester United are among the clubs interested in Roma’s French midfielder Manu Kone, who impressed with his performances for France during the World Cup. World Cup 2026.

Roma continues to consider the possibility of selling some players to comply with the rules of Financial Fair Play (FFP), while the departure of Kone this summer could bring the club around 60 million euros, according to the latest reports of “La Gazzetta dello Sport”.

However, despite the initial interest, Manchester United are not completely convinced to transfer Kone at the price of 60 million euros.

According to “La Gazzetta dello Sport”, the leaders of the English club do not have a unanimous position to approve this investment.

For this reason, United is expected to continue negotiations with Roma in an attempt to reduce the financial demand of the Italian club.

According to “La Gazzetta dello Sport”, Manchester United may try to include Marcus Rashford in the talks as part of the agreement for Kone.

However, this idea faces some big obstacles.

One of them is Rashford’s salary, which is reported to be around 10 million euros net per season, plus bonuses of around 2.5 million euros.

With these figures, he would become the highest paid player in Serie A by a significant margin.

Roma would also prefer to take Rashford first on loan rather than on a permanent transfer.

According to “La Gazzetta dello Sport”, in such a scenario Manchester United would still have to cover a significant part of the attacker’s salary, something that at this moment seems unlikely./GazetaExpress/
