Chelsea are eyeing Roma's Manu Kone as a possible addition to their squad should Enzo Fernandez depart for Manchester City. The priority remains Lamine Kamara from Monaco, but the Blues are ensuring they have alternative options lined up.
According to insider Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have already reached out to Roma regarding a potential transfer for Kone. However, talks are still in the early stages, with the Italian club keen to hold onto the French midfielder.
The interest in Kone stems from the uncertainty surrounding the deal for Kamara. Chelsea are actively pursuing the Monaco player but do not want to rely solely on that one option.
The urgency to secure a new midfielder could intensify if Fernandez ultimately makes his switch to Manchester City, with just over a day remaining before the transfer window closes.
