PSG targets France s main defensive midfielder! Offers 60 million to buy, Inter Milan intends to cut him off

Quadio Cone has become one of the hottest names in European football. The French midfielder is a key player for Roma in Serie A and is also the new main defensive midfielder of the French team. In the past four games for the French team, Quadio Cone has performed well in three starts. According to Spanish media fichajes, French Ligue 1 hegemon Paris Saint-Germain has paid attention to Quadio Cone and hopes to sign him to strengthen the midfield.

In the summer of 2024, Quadio Cone transferred from Monchengladbach to Roma for 18 million euros. Since then, Quadio Cone has grown into an indispensable member of Gasperini's squad. His contract with the team will last until June 2029. He has played 53 times in various competitions and scored two goals. His market value has soared to 50 million euros.

The 24-year-old French midfielder can not only help the team regain the ball, but also performs well in the balance of offense and defense in the midfield. At the same time, he also has excellent physical fitness and game vision. This season, Roma ranks second in Serie A and only conceded 2 goals in the first 6 rounds. This has a lot to do with Quadio Cone's pressing in the midfield. In the French national team, Quadio Cone was reused by Deschamps, starting 3 times in the past 4 World Cup qualifying games and playing for 90 minutes. His performance further attracted the attention of many European giants.

Among them, Inter Milan tried to sign him with an offer of about 40 million euros this summer, but Roma rejected the proposal, firmly believing that Quadio Cone would be the core player in their mid-term plan. According to "Calciomercato", Paris Saint-Germain has recently joined the pursuit of Quadio Cone. PSG are looking for an impactful midfielder to provide balance in the squad. Although the team is talented in attack, it still needs a core figure in the midfield. It is reported that the Paris Club has made an offer of close to 60 million euros, a figure that is difficult for Roma to refuse.

Paris Saint-Germain believes that Quadio Cone is the natural successor to players such as Verratti or Rabiot, with energy, technology and the ability to cover the whole court. His arrival will bring fresh blood and vitality to a team that still dreams of dominating Europe. As for the player himself, he is also willing to listen to offers, aware that his growth in Serie A has put him on the radar of top clubs. Being able to return to his home country and play for the French champions is a unique opportunity in his career.

Currently, Rome is facing economic difficulties. UEFA's Financial Fair Play policy requires clubs to turn a profit by the end of the season to avoid penalties and transfer restrictions. The sale of Quadio Cone would bring in a significant amount of revenue that would help balance the books and could be partially reinvested in the recruitment of new players, particularly at the winger position, an area Gasperini considers to be a priority.

However, the Italian coach is not willing to let go of the French midfielder. He believes that Quadio Cone is the pillar of his tactical system. His departure will leave a huge void in the defensive and organizational aspects of the midfield. While PSG made a strong offer, Inter Milan was also paying close attention to developments. If Roma succeeds in retaining Quadio Cone this season, the Nerazzurri will not rule out launching another offensive in 2026. The battle between the two clubs is expected to intensify in the coming months. PSG can offer strong financial resources and the appeal of the Champions League, while Inter Milan rely on a stable and competitive Serie A advantage.
