Liverpool are targeting a deal for Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Koné and talks to take him to Anfield ‘are getting hot
That’s according to BILD journalist Christian Falk, who says the Reds have identified the midfielder as a cheap alternative to Jude Bellingham.
Liverpool had been in the race for Bellingham’s signature for more than a year and at one point appeared to be the favourites to sign him ahead of the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester City.
However, that is no longer the case, with Bellingham instead on his way to the Santiago Bernabeu and that deal considered done at this point in time.
That’s left Liverpool scouring the market for alternatives as Jurgen Klopp is determined to completely overhaul his midfield this summer, with that area of the team proving to be a weak point this season.
