Manu Koné

Manu Koné is a dynamic box-to-box midfielder who made his name at Borussia Mönchengladbach with his ability to drive forward from deep, win the ball back aggressively, and contribute in the final third. He moved to AS Roma in 2024, where his energy and athleticism suit Daniele De Rossi's pressing demands. Still establishing himself in the French national team picture, Koné offers a more combative, physically imposing option than some of his midfield rivals. At 25, he is entering the years when players of his profile typically take their biggest step forward.
