According to German journalist Florian Plettenburg, a transfer of Manu Kone from Borussia Monchengladbach to Liverpool this summer seems unlikely at this stage, despite earlier reports revealing there had been contact between the Merseyside club and the midfielder’s representatives.
The 22-year-old remains a top candidate to leave Gladbach, who hope to bank in around €30 million for his services, and he shouldn’t be short of option even if Liverpool withdraw from the talks completely. The six-time European champions do admire his qualities and believe him to be a player of an “interesting profile” as they work on the reconstruction of their midfield section, but it appears that at this moment, their eyes are turned elsewhere.
News #Koné: 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. @borussia demands… pic.twitter.com/Bgun99PfK9
