Manu Koné (born 17 May 2001, age 25) is a French central midfielder with Roma. His current market value is around £42.5m, according to Transfermarkt, which tells its own story about how highly he is regarded in the market, if not always about what happens on the grass.
His strongest league season came at Toulouse in 2020-21, when he scored three goals in 36 appearances. That was a solid base for a young midfielder: regular football, enough attacking contribution to be noticed, and the sort of workload that usually matters more than the highlight reel.
Now at Roma, Koné has made one Serie A appearance in 2026-27. His career so far has run from a productive spell at Toulouse to a place in Roma’s midfield group, with his reputation built more on development and market value than on a long finished body of work.
