Chelsea<\/a> have made club-to-club contact with AS Roma over the possible transfer<\/a> of Manu Kon\u00e9 to Stamford Bridge this summer, according to Santi Aouna<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Kon\u00e9 began his academy journey with AC Boulogne-Billancourt in July 2015, joining the club at 14. His performances quickly drew attention, and Toulouse brought the midfielder into their youth setup a year later, where the club\u2019s youth coach, Jean-Christophe Debu, described him as \u2018extraordinary\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n Germany proved to be the stage where Kon\u00e9\u2019s reputation really took off, with his performances for Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach marking him out as one of Europe\u2019s most promising midfielders. That rise eventually led Roma to secure his signature in the summer of 2024.<\/p>\n In the 2025-26 campaign, he featured 37 times across all competitions, and that consistency has continued into the ongoing campaign, where he has played a key role in helping Roma secure two wins in their first two Serie A games this season.<\/p>\n It\u2019s no surprise his quality and consistency have linked Kon\u00e9 with a move to the Premier League<\/a>, with several reports saying Chelsea have expressed interest.<\/p>\n Now, according to Santi Aouna<\/em>, Chelsea have formally made club-to-club contact with Roma over the potential transfer of Kon\u00e9 to Stamford Bridge this summer.<\/p>\n Despite Roma\u2019s coach Gian Piero Gasperini reiterating that the 25-year-old was unlikely to be sold, Aouna<\/em> adds that both clubs are in talks to find an agreement for the midfielder.<\/p>\n\u2018Incredible\u2019 midfielder<\/h2>\n
