The French media outlet claims that Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Chelsea are leading the race for his signature.
Responding to PSG's reported interest, Koné told Telefoot:
"It's nice to see. People know I'm from Paris. They're a big club, they play in the Champions League and they have big players.
"When you play for them, you can only get better. But I'm at Gladbach, so I have to stay focused. We'll see what happens, I'll stay calm and professional.
Telefoot estimates that it would take an offer of around €45 million to convince Gladbach to sell the 21-year-old midfielder, who is under contract until 2025.
However, Sport Bild recently claimed that he's available for a fee of around €30 million.
