Chelsea have offered Roma €65 million for Manu Kone. Gian Piero Gasperini sees the French midfielder as untouchable, leaving the choice to the player and Dan Friedkin.

Chelsea have made a move for Roma's Manu Kone, putting forward a €65 million bid for the midfielder, as reported by Nicolò Schira.

However, Roma's head coach Gian Piero Gasperini regards the talented Frenchman as untouchable and is keen to keep him in the squad.

The ball is now in the court of Kone and Roma's owner Dan Friedkin, who must decide whether to accept Chelsea's tempting offer or to maintain their current squad integrity by holding onto the midfielder.

Chelsea's interest in Kone has intensified following a meeting between his agent and representatives of the London club in the English capital, yet a transfer agreement has yet to be struck.
