United among three clubs in running for highly-rated midfielder Manu Kone, price revealed (reliability: 5 stars)

Man United are following the development of Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone and are interested in signing him in the summer, as per Fabrizio Romano.

Romano said on his Youtube channel: “It’s my understanding that three clubs in the moment are leading the race for Manu Kone, one for sure is Chelsea. Chelsea will be there. Manchester United are following the player too. So, Chelsea, Man United and PSG.

“Other clubs still have time to enter the race and try to lead the race in the next few weeks but these three clubs are already exploring contacts and situation for Manu Kone.

“So, keep an eye on him because the expectation is for a summer move. It’s my understanding that a summer move will be worth at least, at least €50m [£44m] with add-ons. So it’s going to be an expensive deal for Manu Kone.”

The 21-year-old midfielder has been impressing in the Bundesliga for Gladbach, as he can play in a variety of positions in midfield – including defensive midfield.

The Red Devils will have to pay a relatively sizeable fee and provide Kone with an attractive offer to beat out the competition from Chelsea and PSG in the summer window.
