Gasperini: Koné fit for Hellas finale, Roma eyes World Cup boost for transfer valuation

Source: Forza Roma

Manu Koné trained with the Roma squad on 20 May and will feature in the final Serie A match against Verona. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini spoke with the 25-year-old midfielder to request one final effort before the close of the season. The midfielder has attracted interest from Inter and multiple Premier League clubs, with his World Cup performances in America potentially affecting his market value.

Roma has maintained a €50 million asking price for Koné throughout the window but is likely to await the outcome of the World Cup before setting a definitive price. A significant sale will be necessary to fund Roma's incoming transfers, with targets including Nusa, Greenwood and Summerville reportedly at the top of Gasperini's priority list.

Hermoso, Balerdi and Ndicka lead Roma's defensive goal haul

Roma's defenders are proving decisive this season, with Mario Hermoso among the central figures in Gian Piero Gasperini's side. Hermoso opened the scoring in a difficult match against Sassuolo with a finish more typical of a striker, and he has now reached three goals this season. He is not alone. Leonardo Balerdi scored twice in the win at Napoli, the second of which was decisive in securing a draw at the Maradona. Evan N'Dicka and Daniele Ghilardi have each scored once, with N'Dicka's goal coming in Udine last week. In total, Roma's defenders have scored seven goals across Serie A and the Champions League. According to Daniele Aloisi writing in Il Messaggero, the defensive unit's contribution goes beyond goals. Ghilardi has also registered two assists, as has Gianluca Mancini, who was out injured yesterday. Koulierakis has yet to find the net this season. Together, the defenders have been involved in eleven of Roma's forty goals this season, a share of 27.5 per cent. The unit is, without question, the most complete in the squad and allows Gasperini to rotate more players than any other.
