Liverpool face roadblock in pursuit of Borussia Monchengladbach star Manu Kone
While the player possesses an interesting profile that surely has caught the attention of the Liverpool hierarchy, it appears that a transfer to the Merseyside club stands currently unlikely for Manu Kone of Borussia Monchengladbach.
A recent revelation from Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany via Twitter has shed light on Liverpool’s interest in the Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder. The 22-year-old possesses immense potential and has displayed glimpses of his talent during his time in the Bundesliga.
“Been told a transfer to LFC is very unlikely. Yes, he’s on a shortlist because of his interesting profile but not a hot transfer target for Liverpool at this stage. For M‘Gladbach he’s still a top candidate for sale. But no concrete offers yet.”
“Monchengladbach demands more than €30m.”
Manu Kone and his technical ability, vision, and versatility make him an exciting prospect for any team looking to strengthen their midfield options. However, it seems that the Reds will not go all-out on getting him on board, as he is not a ‘hot transfer target’.
Jurgen Klopp’s side has remained renowned for their astute recruitment in recent years, targeting players who fit their specific style of play and can seamlessly integrate into their system bar a player or two here or there apart from which the scouting in Klopp’s tenure has been inch perfect.
What next for Liverpool?
It is rather surprising why the Reds do not see him as a priority option. His youth along with how he plays in central midfield combines to form a style of play Liverpool dearly need at this point in time.
According to Plettenberg, the valuation of Manu Kone stands at more than €30m. This indicates that the German club holds Kone in high regard and is reluctant to let him go for anything less than their asking price.
However, despite the player being considered a top candidate for sale, no concrete offers have been made thus far. Only time will tell whether Liverpool will intensify their pursuit of Manu Kone or explore other options in the transfer market.
The club’s recruitment strategy has proved successful in the past, and fans will trust Jurgen Klopp and the team’s decision-making in shaping the squad for the upcoming season.
