Liverpool target and Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone’s price tag ‘named’

The Reds’ summer transfer business takes a new turn now as Borussia Monchengladbach have supposedly named their asking price for Liverpool transfer target Manu Kone.

The 22-year-old French midfielder could potentially be available for a fee ranging from €35m to €40m. Gladbach seems to remain prepared to let him leave for that amount. That is as per Fabrizio Romano via Twitter.

Manu Kone has impressed during his time at the Bundesliga club, catching the attention of several clubs across Europe. Liverpool’s involvement in talks showcases their ambition to strengthen the team and enhance their midfield options.

While the price tag for Kone is not exorbitant, it still represents a significant investment for Liverpool. The club will carefully evaluate the deal’s financial aspects and weigh it against the player’s potential impact on the team.

Kone talks ongoing

Negotiations with Monchengladbach are ongoing, with both parties aiming to reach an agreement. Liverpool’s transfer team, with Jorg Schmadtke at the helm, will work diligently to ensure that the deal is favourable and aligns with the club’s long-term plans.

The German’s understanding of the Bundesliga and its players could prove to be significant in the Reds’ pursuit of getting Kone on board over the upcoming transfer window.

Should the transfer progress, Kone’s arrival at Anfield would provide added competition and depth to Liverpool’s midfield. His technical skills and versatility to play almost all midfield roles certainly make him an intriguing prospect for the Reds.

As talks continue, Liverpool will closely monitor the developments surrounding Kone’s potential transfer. The club’s management remains proactive and determined to secure the midfielder’s services at a reasonable price, making a wise investment for the future.
