The 40 million that would put Jordan Henderson out of Liverpool

The release of players as important to a club as Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner has always provoked strong reactions in the market to avoid these losses leading to problems throughout the season. It is precisely the numerous problems suffered by Liverpool in the last nine months, that is, since the start of the season, that have led to a sporting catastrophe unparalleled since Jürgen Klopp took the reins of the project: being out of the places that lead to play in the next edition of the Champions League.

Key players such as Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcántara and Darwin Núñez have not been at their best and, although there are still a few weeks to go before the market reopens, Klopp has already made a new request to the Reds board to strengthen the midfield: Manu Koné.

The Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder, who has recently been compared to Eduardo Camavinga for his physical and sporting similarities, is one of the most promising Welsh prospects and, if already in January a large number of teams showed their interest in the 22-year-old, Liverpool could soon close this storyline in a very gratifying way for Klopp. The player has a contract with the German club until 2025, with the option to extend it for another year, and knows that this is the ideal opportunity to take the necessary leap in quality in his career to exploit his delirious range of virtues in a club with very ambitious challenges.

The 40 million reinforcement

It is true that not fighting for the Champions League is a very hard blow for Klopp, Salah and the rest of the English club's stalwarts, but even so, the Reds will try to put an end to Manchester City's hegemony in the Premier League by winning the title and also winning the Europa League, a competition in which they will start as one of the great favourites. The deal, financially speaking, could be worth up to 40 million euros and, in addition to the other Camavinga, Klopp has set his sights on Alexis Mac-Allister to reinforce the creative side.
