Roma considers sales of Soulé and Koné: Arsenal interested in Frenchman

AS Roma are preparing for a busy summer in the transfer market, with the possibility of releasing two of their most valued players, Matias Soulé and Manu Koné. In order to balance finances and meet the team's technical requirements, Roman management is seriously considering these sales. Soulé, valued at 40 million euros, and Koné, estimated at 50 million euros, could be the bargaining chips needed for the club to make acquisitions that coach Gian Piero Gasperini considers essential for next season.

In the case of Matias Soulé, his stay at the club seems uncertain. Gasperini has already expressed the need to reinforce the positions of offensive wingers, which puts Soulé in a vulnerable position, particularly with the renewal of Paulo Dybala, which further reduces the space for the young Argentine. Roma had hoped to negotiate Soulé's departure before the end of June, but the lack of concrete proposals, especially from Germany and Saudi Arabia, complicated the process. The player, who has a contract until 2029, could be on his way to a new challenge, but the club's management must carefully consider all options before making a final decision.

On the other hand, Manu Koné is shining on the international stage, competing in the World Cups, which could open doors for transfers to more competitive leagues. Recently, it was reported that Arsenal have shown interest in the French midfielder. Despite having rejected a proposal from Atlético de Madrid, Koné appears open to a move to the Premier League, where Arsenal would be willing to invest. However, Roma are not willing to negotiate for less than 50 million euros, which could be an obstacle in the talks.

Koné's situation is also delicate, as his relationship with Gasperini has not been the best lately. The player is looking for a club where he can play a prominent role and, with Arsenal's interest, he may have found this opportunity. With the transfer market heating up, all eyes will be on Roma and the decisions that the management will make in the coming weeks.
