Chelsea Bids €65 Million for Manu Koné as Enzo Fernández Nears Man City Move

Chelsea has reportedly submitted a €65 million bid for Manu Koné, according to journalist Nicolò Schira. The London club is also prepared to offer Jamie Gittens on loan to the 'Giallorossi'.

Sky Sports Italy suggests the offer is valued at €60 million, with Chelsea confident of securing the French international. However, Schira claims that Roma has declared Koné non-transferable.

At Stamford Bridge, Koné is eyed as a potential replacement for Enzo Fernández, who is reportedly nearing a move to Manchester City. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the two clubs have already reached a preliminary agreement and only need to finalize the deal. The Argentine is expected to fly to Manchester in the coming hours. The source did not disclose the exact transfer fee, but expectations are that the deal could be worth £120 million plus an additional £17-20 million in bonuses.
