Sport Witness<\/a>).<\/p>\n\u201cLast year he hadn\u2019t played for France yet, and he managed to earn a starting spot, which shows his true worth.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis future? I think these Financial Fair Play conditions are never so precise and defined; they vary from team to team.<\/p>\n
\u201cRoma also need to balance the books, which have been burdensome in recent years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hoped that returning to the Champions League would be enough, but it\u2019s clear that financial statements are crucial for clubs. I believe there will be more clarity in the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gasperini\u2019s comments confirm reports from Italy that Roma need to sell a major asset such as Kone to improve their financial situation.<\/p>\n
That looks set to play right into United\u2019s hands, as they have already enquired about the 25-year-old\u2019s situation with Roma.<\/p>\n
Man Utd, Liverpool both in for Manu Kone<\/p>\n
Although,\u00a0United could face competition for the 25-year-old. The Kopite View have claimed it is actually Liverpool who are leading the race for Kone.<\/p>\n
It is not out of the question that United return for Ederson at some stage in the future, despite his move being scrapped recently. Journalist Ben Jacobs has written on social media: \u2018Ederson\u2019s proposed move to Manchester United is off for now, but #MUFC have not ruled out revisiting later in the summer.<\/p>\n
\u2018Atalanta sources maintain the player is fully fit, but #MUFC decided not to proceed after carrying out a thorough medical with specialists looking at an issue with Ederson\u2019s knee flagged in initial tests.<\/p>\n
\u2018Ederson flew to England for additional tests following the World Cup. As Manchester United debated whether to proceed, they got buy in from both Andrey Santos and later Youri Tielemans and quickly closed both deals. Yet Santos is not seen as a replacement to the Atalanta midfielder.<\/p>\n
\u2018Although the transfer is off as it stands, and could well remain this way, it is not entirely ruled out a new approach to Atalanta is made later in the summer. Yet if the deal is revived, it won\u2019t be on the same \u20ac45m terms. Manchester United are sympathetic to the player but the deal won\u2019t be formalised as of now.\u2019<\/p>\n
