Milan have tabled their offer for Adrien Rabiot, but he hasn’t given a firm answer, and they are unlikely to wait much longer, also because they face competition from Roma for their other main target Manu Koné. The Borussia Moenchengladbach star is likely to transfer to one of the two Serie A sides, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.
Both have offered €15M. The German side would like €5M more, but there’s traction about his departure toward the Peninsula. The youngster has two years on his contract, so his side would have less negotiating power next summer.
Roma have a small technical advantage over Milan for Koné. The Rossoneri have filled all their spots for foreigners in their Serie A and Champions League lists. Therefore need to make room for an addition with an exit.
Ismael Bennacer has been rumored to be on his way out. However, Al-Qadsiah, which had targeted him, pulled out of the race. Considering the likely arrival of Tammy Abraham, Luka Jovic could be the odd man out now, but he’s not drawing much interest at the moment.
Our Take on Milan, Roma, and Koné
It’s interesting that this possibility continues to linger as, while every team could use a talented midfield with major upside at an affordable price, neither side has glaring holes at the position unless they are plotting some tactical adjustments. It feels like whoever acts more quickly and concretely will get the cookie.

Seriously? Roma don’t have glaring holes in MF? We are a donut team…nothing in the middle. Cristante snd Pellegrini are hopeless.
