Manu Kone' of AS Roma during the Serie A Enilive match between AS Roma and Hellas Verona at Stadio Olimpico on April 19, 2025 in Rome, Italy. Manu Kone is having a respectable maiden Serie A campaign, and Roma plot to resist the temptation of turning a quick profit on him. His valuation has quickly doubled, and a few teams, in particular PSG, are keeping tabs on him. According to Corriere dello Sport (via Mediaset), the Giallorossi fully intend to have him in their squad for a few seasons. Their €18M investment, plus €2M add-ons, has paid dividends. His valuation is about €40M now. Roma are likely to receive some offers for Kone in the summer, but any sum is unlikely to persuade them. The brass and the coaching staff believe he has a lot of room to grow. The 23-year-old has been a day...

Juventus Not Abandoning Their Long-Shot Osimhen Pursuit

Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray looks on during the Super Lig match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce at Rams Park, Istanbul, Turkey on February 24, 2025.

His acquisition has been almost entirely amortized. They’ll attempt to keep Randal Kolo Muani on loan with an option or obligation to buy. However, they wouldn’t insist too much if they didn’t like PSG’s terms. Juventus are ready to rival...

Paris Saint-Germain have a big decision coming up: is Gianluigi Donnarumma still their long-term answer in goal? His contract runs out in 2026, and the clock’s ticking. Since arriving from AC Milan in 2021, Donnarumma has had his share of standout moments—like the penalty shootout heroics against Liverpool this year. But he’s also made costly errors, including the one against Real Madrid in 2022, that raise questions about his reliability on the biggest stage.
