Roma is reportedly scrambling to offload players for a significant profit this summer, needing to raise €50 million by the end of the month to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations. The club is prioritizing sales of high-value assets with low book values to maximize their financial gain.
According to CalcioMercato, the Italian club faces a tight deadline to balance its books. While players like Mile Svilar and Evan Ndicka are seen as potential profit sources due to their low residual values, their expected transfer fees might not meet the substantial target.
Manu Kone has emerged as a key figure in these discussions. Despite a remaining €11.8 million payment, the midfielder could command a fee of around €50 million. Atletico Madrid is rumored to be exploring a deal worth €45 million, potentially rising to €50 million with bonuses. Premier League clubs have also shown past interest.
However, Roma's urgent need to sell could weaken their negotiating position, making it challenging to secure a top price for Kone within the limited timeframe. Sporting director Tony D’Amico faces a considerable task to orchestrate a lucrative sale.
