Manu Koné is a French central midfielder, born on 17 May 2001 (age 25), now with Roma. He is valued at around £42.5m by Transfermarkt, which says enough about how the wider market views him, even if that market is not always a sober place.
His most productive league season came at Toulouse in 2020-21, when he scored three times in 36 appearances. That remains the clearest statistical marker from the earlier part of his career: regular football, a modest goal return, and a role built more around midfield work than headline numbers.
At Roma in 2026-27, Koné has made seven Serie A appearances and scored two goals. For a centre midfielder, that is a useful early return rather than something to get carried away with.
Koné’s career to this point runs from Toulouse into Serie A with Roma, with his reputation resting on steady midfield presence and room still to develop further.
