Liverpool offered Bundesliga star likened to Jude Bellingham

Liverpool have been offered the opportunity to sign Manu Kone

Liverpool have been offered the chance to sign Manu Kone, a midfielder from Borussia Monchengladbach, who has drawn comparisons to Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham. This development was discussed by Dean Jones on the Ranks FC Ultras Podcast, where he revealed that several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, have been made aware of Kone’s availability.

Curiously, this comes on the back of recent reports that Liverpool are in talks with a midfielder from outside the Premier League. This aligns with Jones’ comments about Kone, suggesting that the French midfielder could be the player Liverpool are currently negotiating with.

Liverpool have been offered the opportunity to sign Manu Kone.

Kone, known for his defensive capabilities, averaged two tackles per game in the Bundesliga last season. This statistic is bettered only by Conor Bradley and Alexis Mac Allister in the current Liverpool squad. His ability to sit at the base of the midfield and break up opposition play could provide the defensive stability Liverpool are seeking. Also at 23, Kone is young enough to future-proof the role and also develop into a world-class star.

Despite Jones expressing some reservations about whether Kone would significantly improve Liverpool’s midfield, the Frenchman’s defensive statistics and potential make him an intriguing option. He was linked with a move to Liverpool last summer, but a deal did not materialize. His continued availability presents a renewed opportunity for the Reds.

“Manu Kone is good, but I don’t think he’s good enough to improve that midfield is he? I was a bit underwhelmed by it to be honest. He is being offered. Four or five clubs in the Premier League are being made aware of his availability at the moment, and Liverpool are one of them, so there is something in that from that sense.”

Kone’s addition could address a key need for Liverpool as they look to reinforce their midfield. His comparison to Jude Bellingham highlights his potential and skill set, making him a valuable asset for any top club. If Liverpool can secure his services, it could provide the squad with much-needed depth and defensive strength.

With Arne Slot at the helm, adding a player like Kone could be crucial in implementing his tactical plans and ensuring Liverpool’s midfield remains robust and competitive. ones might consider the player underwhelming but we rather sign a low profile player who can make an impact rather than one who struggles to live up to expectations. Which of these Kone could turn into remains to be seen.
