Cristi Chivu, the 45-year-old Romanian coach, led Inter Milan to a historic season, capturing both the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia. As he looks to the future, Chivu is reportedly in negotiations with AS Roma to sign midfielder Manu Kone.

Cristi Chivu is making waves in Italy after leading Inter to unprecedented success. He aims to repeat this success in the upcoming season and has already begun planning. The 45-year-old coach has prepared a list of transfer targets for the club, with a focus on AS Roma’s midfielder Manu Kone.

According to tuttomercatoweb.com, Chivu is keen on bringing Kone to Inter Milan. The source reports, “Inter is trying again. Chivu wants Kone.”

Meanwhile, Italian journalists note that AS Roma is prepared to negotiate with Inter Milan over the transfer. Manu Kone, a 25-year-old French player, is valued at 50 million euros by Transfermarkt and is under contract with AS Roma until 2029.

Lautaro Martinez, one of Inter’s key players, has recently spoken about his struggles last season. According to gazzetta.it, he admitted to wanting to leave the club after a disappointing World Cup performance. “Last year, I was devastated, I wanted to leave. After the Club World Cup, I thought it was all over. Sometimes I doubt myself, if I can still play football, if I deserve to be Inter’s number 10. I realized I needed support, that I was in a tunnel. I am still being followed by the club’s psychologist, who supported me through the 46 days after my injury, which were not easy at all.”
