Fabrizio Romano, a well-known Italian journalist, claims that Liverpool and Borussia Monchengladbach have begun negotiations over Manu Kone. They also know that the 22-year-old Frenchman is being offered about €40 million.
This past season, Kone was a crucial member of the German team, and Liverpool may find him to be a wise long-term investment. A bargain in today’s market, the midfielder is supposedly valued between €35 million and €40 million. The midfielder’s representatives have also been contacted by Liverpool.
The commanding midfielder will enhance the middle of the field with defensive cover, originality, and flair. He might make the best long-term Fabinho successor. Over the past year, the midfielder for Brazil’s national team has not been at his best. Liverpool will therefore need to start preparing for life without him.
The Reds would benefit greatly from acquiring Kone, but it is unclear if they will be willing to pay the asking amount. Liverpool undoubtedly possesses the funds necessary to spend €40 million for the midfielder. So they should try to finalize a deal with Bundesliga heavyweights Borussia Monchengladbach shortly.
This summer, Liverpool needs to add several reinforcements, particularly after losing three midfielders to free agency. They have also been connected to Khephren Thuram and Alexis Mac Allister in addition to Kone.
The promising young Frenchman will be thrilled to transfer to the Premier League and will be drawn to the chance to play for a major club. Working with a manager like Jurgen Klopp might hasten his professional advancement, which would be a significant step up.
The 22-year-old has all the skills necessary to soon become a top-tier midfielder. Liverpool has a history of developing gifted young players into established stars. As a result, the action would be excellent for all sides, and it will be intriguing to see how things develop.
According to Fabrizio Romano, if their €40 million asking price is satisfied, the Bundesliga club is ready to sell the 22-year-old. For Liverpool, the transaction currently appears to be very simple.
Liverpool are informed of price tag for Manu Koné as talks took place this week. French midfielder could be available for €35/40m, 'Gladbach are prepared to let him leave for that fee. 🚨🔴🇫🇷 #LFC
