Manu Koné is better than Bellingham and this will be the incredible salary he will earn at Liverpool

Liverpool have set their sights on the Bundesliga in search of a key midfield reinforcement. According to reports in German newspaper 'Bild', the English club have made the signing of 22-year-old Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Manú Koné their top priority. The midfield has been one of Liverpool's weakest areas all season, and Jürgen Klopp is determined to strengthen it with the arrival of Koné. The German side will reportedly not accept less than €45m for the young French talent, showing the confidence they have in their player.

Koné has been an important player at Borussia Mönchengladbach, showing outstanding skills in midfield. Throughout the current season, the French midfielder has managed to score one goal and provide one assist in 30 games played in all competitions. Jürgen Klopp sees Kone as the ideal piece to boost his midfield, especially considering Fabinho's recent under-performance. The German coach is looking for more rotation and depth in that area of the pitch, and Koné fits that profile perfectly.

The French player is one of Liverpool's three targets in this transfer window, along with Khéphren Thuram and Alexis Mac Allister. All three players would arrive to strengthen the midfield rotation and provide new tactical options for Klopp's side. Liverpool's acquisition of Koné would be a strategic and ambitious move, in line with the English club's winning mentality. Klopp is looking to remain in contention at the top of the Premier League and in European competitions, and knows that a strong and versatile midfield is necessary.

Koné's wage

Liverpool fans will be keeping a close eye on developments in the coming weeks to see if the signing of Manú Koné is finalised and how his addition could boost the team. Undoubtedly, the arrival of this young French talent could be a significant boost for the Anfield outfit and a clear message about their future aspirations.
