Manchester United in transfer battle with Liverpool for Serie A star

Visit saltysenoritaaz.com for more information.

Manchester United and Liverpool are competing for the signature of Roma star Manu Kone. 

The 25-year-old has caught the attention of the two English giants after starting four matches for France at the World Cup 2026. 

According to Corriere dello Sport, Roma have slapped a £51m price tag on Kone after his excellent displays at the World Cup. 

United made a slow start to the summer transfer window, but they have picked up speed in the last few days. 

They have completed the £48 million signing of Andrey Santos from Chelsea, and are also close to landing Aston Villa ace Youri Tielemans. 

The Red Devils are still looking to add a third midfielder, with Kobbie Mainoo their only senior option left after Casemiro’s departure and Manuel Ugarte’s long-term injury. 

They are exploring a move for Kone, who is in his prime and has proven himself at the top level of football. 

The physically imposing midfielder started 28 Serie A games last season, helping Roma secure Champions League football after a seven-year gap. 

United face competition from Liverpool, who are also keen on the Frenchman.  

The Reds completed the pre-agreed signing of defender Jeremy Jacquet before beating Newcastle United to the signing of forward Victor Munoz. 

They are also looking to bolster their midfield and believe Kone to be a good fit.
