Manu Kone: Gladbach director notifies Liverpool of a transfer
Share
The sporting director of Borussia Monchengladbach, Roland Virkus, has made it clear that the team is willing to sell midfielder Manu Kone to Liverpool for the right sum of money.
Liverpool is working diligently to identify a second new midfielder after successfully acquiring Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister for a steal. Many clubs in Europe have expressed interest in Kone, but the Reds have intensified their pursuit of the 22-year-old in recent weeks by starting negotiations with his agents.
While it is believed that Gladbach wants to keep Kone, club director Virkus has acknowledged that the team will sell any player if their asking prices are met.
Kicker was informed by Virkus, “Our attitude is well-known. “If there are financial considerations a club like Borussia must make, we will comply.”
Liverpool has spoken with the representatives of fellow Frenchman Khephren Thuram, who recently discussed his future and insisted he was not in a rush to leave Nice, and who Liverpool is also considering as a potential replacement for Kone.
Mason Mount of Chelsea, Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich, Ruben Neves of Wolves, and Youri Tielemans of former Leicester are all on Liverpool’s lengthy shortlist as the Reds look to continue their midfield rebuild.
This summer, the team lost Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, and Naby Keita, with the latter signing a contract with Werder Bremen to play in the Bundesliga once more. Since his loan was up, Arthur has also come back to Juventus.
Fabio Carvalho, a 20-year-old midfielder, will also be permitted to leave on loan this summer due to dissatisfaction with his insufficient playing time in the previous campaign.

Liverpool is getting closer to adding another midfielder, with the agreement of personal terms.
Liverpool successfully acquired Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton on Thursday, and the Reds are now looking to add a midfield partner for the World Cup winner.
Due to Fabinho’s declining performances throughout the previous season, Jurgen Klopp is looking to add a defensive midfielder to his lineup for the upcoming season.
The Reds have made Khephren Thuram of OGC Nice a target, and according to FootballTransfers, the Merseyside club and the 22-year-old have reached an agreement on personal terms.
A transfer fee is reportedly being discussed between the two clubs, with Nice reportedly looking to get the most money for the French star and Newcastle reportedly having an interest in the midfielder.
Since January, Liverpool has been keeping an eye on Thuram, who is reportedly pushing for a transfer to Anfield with his entourage.
With the defensive midfield position becoming vulnerable over the past year under Fabinho’s leadership, the 22-year-old would be a huge boost for Klopp going into the upcoming season.
The Frenchman appears to be Liverpool’s second acquisition of the summer transfer window, and after that deal is done, Klopp will focus on bringing in a third midfielder to complete his overhaul.

What the Brighton players had to say about Alexis MacAllister leaving Liverpool and the simple transfer decision
The signing of Alexis Mac Allister by Liverpool is discussed by one of the ECHO jury members.
Following the impressive acquisition of Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool’s summer transfer window has opened.
On Thursday morning, the 24-year-old was introduced as the Reds’ first summer acquisition. He has committed to the team for five years. Mac Allister will be prepared to jump right into Jurgen Klopp’s midfield next season after making 98 Premier League appearances prior to his arrival at Anfield.
selecting No. The World Cup champion will have big shoes to fill when he plays during the 2023–24 season after inheriting the No. 10 shirt from its previous owner, Sadio Mane, but Mac Allister comes across as an induvial who is ready to take on this new challenge in his career.
The versatile midfielder, whose goal now is to help Liverpool contend for the biggest prizes in the game, has already helped Brighton secure European football for the first time in their history.
To be able to compete with Manchester City next season, Klopp’s team will need to make more additions to the roster, with a focus on bringing other midfield targets to Merseyside. Although he will need to be supported by acquisitions of comparable caliber, Mac Allister represents a step in the right direction for the Reds’ recruitment drive.
A comment on Liverpool’s new No. 10, ECHO jury columnist Andrew Cullen thinks Mac Allister has all the skills required to make an immediate impact.
Mac Allister gives Liverpool’s midfield some much-needed qualities, according to Andrew Cullen (@BrothersRed5).
The signing of Brighton’s elusive midfield maestro Alexis Mac Allister has given Liverpool’s summer transfer activity a promising start.
Some reports state that the fee could be as little as £35 million, which, if true, would be a wise choice for the business. In addition to being financially wise, the deal is also wise for Liverpool because they will be bringing in a young, energetic midfielder with a strong history in the Premier League.
The Liverpool midfield, which was dull and uninspired last season, will get some zing and flair from Mac Allister.
Last season, Mac Allister began to make a difference for the Brighton team after a lackluster start to life in the Premier League. He was a crucial part of Brighton’s remarkable rise. He also excelled on the international stage by winning the most coveted award in football in Qatar, in addition to his impressive performances on the domestic stage.
Given that Brighton plays a dynamic, attacking brand of football that is not too dissimilar from Klopp’s heavy metal brand, Mac Allister’s transition ought to be smooth, at least on paper. He should be able to complement Henderson and Fabinho’s more practical pairing and synchronize with a Thiago or Trent pairing with his playing style.
His former Brighton teammates are complimentary of not only his physical skills but also his disposition, mentality, and personality. In a player, Klopp searches for this modest ambition.
The signing of Alexis Mac Allister is a good start for Liverpool’s summer business after the disappointment of losing the race for Jude Bellingham. Naturally, Liverpool still needs to add speed and power to its midfield and perhaps defense, so it is hoped that this transaction is just the beginning of things to come this summer.
