Manchester United have shifted their focus to Roma midfielder Manu Kone after withdrawing from an agreed deal to sign Atalanta’s Ederson. Roma are demanding at least €55m for Kone, viewing lower bids as insufficient. United’s exit from the Ederson deal surprised Italian sources, who dispute claims of medical concerns. With pressure mounting to strengthen the midfield before the transfer window closes, United are preparing a new proposal, while Ederson’s future at Atalanta remains uncertain.

Ferran Torres is open to joining Paris Saint‑Germain, with Barcelona and PSG in advanced talks over a potential transfer aimed at easing Barcelona’s financial pressures. Torres declined to discuss his future during the World Cup but is reportedly interested in a new challenge. Luis Enrique is pushing for a reunion, while Barcelona have reversed plans to extend Torres’ contract as they look for fresh capital and face increased competition in attack from new signings. PSG aim to complete the deal during the international window.

Roma have shifted their transfer focus to Nottingham Forest winger Dan Ndoye after abandoning a costly pursuit of Mason Greenwood, whose demands reached €50 million.

Roma are also advancing internal contract talks with Paulo Dybala, Zeki Celik and Lorenzo Pellegrini, while preparing for pre-season and monitoring potential departures including interest from Sunderland in Matias Soule.
