Soulé to Dortmund for €40m, Gasperini wants Kone and N'Dicka to stay
Roma plan to sell Matias Soulé. Borussia Dortmund are the destination, and the number is around €40 million (1). The club need a capital gain to satisfy FFP, and Soulé is the one they are willing to move.
Gasperini has drawn his line. Manu Kone and Evan N'Dicka are untouchable pillars for the new project (1). Everyone else has a price.
Arsenal back away from Kone, but the player has agreed terms
Arsenal are playing down the Kone links. The club insist no agreement is in place with Roma (2). But separate reports claim Kone has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal, and talks between the clubs are expected (3).
If Kone pushes, Roma may have to negotiate. That puts Gasperini's plan under immediate pressure.
Fan reactions
Fans are already looking past the summer chaos. One supporter put it bluntly on Reddit: "I'm more excited about Roma playing Champions League upcoming season, than World Cup." You can feel where the energy is. Join the thread.
