According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, Manu Kone could be one of the big stories of the summer as three major clubs reportedly have interest in his services.
The Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder is allegedly attracting interest from Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United with a price tag in the region of roughly £43 million being touted.
Manu Kone Attracting Major Interest
Three Team Race
Three of Europe’s biggest sides are set to battle it out to capture the signature of the defensive midfielder as Romano states that all three are “interested in” signing him. Each has their own reason to sign the 21-year-old with the English duo perhaps being most in need.
PSG are assembling one of the best young rosters football has ever seen with names like Warren Zaire-Emery, El Chadaille Bitshiabu, and Nuno Mendes already among their ranks. Adding a highly sought-after midfielder would only bolster their future further.

On the other hand, the Blues are in need of a long-term replacement for the ageing N’Golo Kante while the Red Devils require a secondary option to Casemiro so the Brazilian star can rest more and avoid disciplinary issues with cards.
Quick Success
The French international has had a quick rise to success since coming through the youth system at Toulouse. After becoming a key player for the team in Ligue 2 following their relegation he made the move to the Bundesliga where he has been a consistent presence for Monchengladbach.
With just over 50 appearances to his name for the German side he has already impressed enough to be dubbed a “French wonderkid” by sites like Sportbible. With three major teams reportedly knocking down the door to sign the midfielder away, his time in Germany may soon come to an end.
