Chelsea have made a \u20ac60m offer for Roma midfielder Manu Kon\u00e9 while goalkeeper Robert S\u00e1nchez moves closer to a Como loan.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Chelsea Agree Personal Terms With Manu Kon\u00e9 As Roma Talks Advance<\/p>\n
Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Roma midfielder Manu Kon\u00e9 and have submitted an offer now reported at \u20ac65m, with the two clubs pushing to finalise a deal before deadline day closes.<\/p>\n
The Premier League club are separately reported to have reached a verbal agreement to send goalkeeper Robert S\u00e1nchez to Como on loan.<\/p>\n
The two deals are at different stages. The Kon\u00e9 move has progressed to personal terms with the club-to-club agreement still being finalised, while the S\u00e1nchez move has been reported as a verbal agreement between the clubs.<\/p>\n
Why Chelsea Are Pushing For Manu Kon\u00e9<\/h2>\n
Chelsea\u2019s interest in Kon\u00e9 is tied directly to Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez\u2019s expected exit. The Argentine is closing in on a club-record move to Manchester City, reported at around \u20ac140m, leaving a gap in midfield that Chelsea want to fill before the window shuts.<\/p>\n
Personal terms have already been agreed with the 25-year-old, and Chelsea are now working to close out the agreement with Roma.<\/p>\n
Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini addressed the speculation on Monday evening, after his side\u2019s 4-0 win over Lecce. \u201cI know nothing about it,\u201d he said. \u201cI know the owners do not want to sell. I don\u2019t know who approached us, but we have not received any formal offers for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since then, Chelsea have moved to make their interest formal, with the fee rising from an initial \u20ac60m to a reported \u20ac65m as talks have progressed.<\/p>\n
Fee And Player Structure<\/h2>\n
The reported valuation has climbed to \u20ac65m as Chelsea look to meet Roma\u2019s asking price. No add-ons, sell-on clause or contract length have been reported.<\/p>\n
A player-inclusive structure has also been discussed. Chelsea are said to be open to sending winger Jamie Gittens to Roma on loan, with the Giallorossi looking for a new attacking winger on deadline day.<\/p>\n
Gittens has been on Roma\u2019s radar for several weeks, although the clubs previously failed to reach an agreement.<\/p>\n Kon\u00e9 made 37 appearances across all competitions for Roma last season, scoring two goals, and enhanced his reputation further with a strong 2026 World Cup campaign for France.<\/p>\n Roma\u2019s interest in Gittens is another element of the discussions around Kon\u00e9, with the loan seen as a way to soften the blow of losing a key midfielder this late in the window.<\/p>\n The reporting doesn\u2019t confirm a formal Roma acceptance or a scheduled medical. Personal terms with the player are agreed, but the deal remains an advanced negotiation between the clubs rather than a completed transfer.<\/p>\n Separately, Como have reached a verbal agreement to sign S\u00e1nchez on loan from Chelsea. Fabrizio Romano, The Athletic and Gianluca Di Marzio are also cited as confirming that the deal has been secured.<\/p>\n The move is expected to be a dry loan without an option to buy, with S\u00e1nchez set to replace Como\u2019s current goalkeeper Tornqvist, who is moving on to Monza.<\/p>\n S\u00e1nchez had been Chelsea\u2019s first-choice goalkeeper for most of last season before the arrival of Emiliano Mart\u00ednez pushed him down the pecking order.<\/p>\n Chelsea and Roma would still need to finalise the club-to-club side of the Kon\u00e9 agreement before the window closes, with any Gittens loan and a medical yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n For S\u00e1nchez, the reported verbal agreement has yet to be formally completed as an official loan, though all the reported sourcing points toward the move going through before deadline day ends.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Jamie](\"https:\/\/www.footitalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/jamie-gittens-chelsea-inline.webp\")
