Liverpool has signed a great player which man United have interest in

Liverpool are reportedly in a battle with Manchester United over a deal to sign Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone this summer, as per the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

After moving to the Borrusia-Park back in 2021 from Toulouse, the 22-year-old has burst onto the scene having impressed for the Foals over the last couple of seasons.

It seems the youngster’s eye-catching performances in the German top-flight haven’t gone unnoticed as he has been attracting a lot of attention from several big European clubs with Man Utd and Liverpool among those to have registered their interest.

Having endured a disappointing campaign this term, It has widely been suggested that the Merseyside club have prioritised strengthening the engine room this summer.

They have been linked with numerous options ahead of the summer window with Alexis Mac Allister, Mason Mount and Ryan Gravenberch being mentioned as primary targets. But, Kone is now emerging as a serious option.

Writing on Twitter, Romano has reported that Liverpool are considering making a move for Kone this summer as he is one of the names on Jurgen Klopp’s wish-list to bolster the engine room.

Battle

The journalist further claims that the midfielder has a very high chance of leaving Gladbach this summer so the Merseyside club can manage to secure the youngster’s signature if they opt to formalise their interest.

Romano wrote:

“Manu Koné, one of the midfielders into Liverpool list. He’s highly rated as Liverpool are already informed on conditions of the deal. Parties feel there’s a chance for Koné to leave this summer, he’s a name to consider for Liverpool plans.”

However, it has previously been reported that Man Utd have also been showing an interest in Kone and they could make a concrete approach to purchase him in the upcoming transfer window. So, Liverpool are set to face tough competition from the Red Devils in getting any potential deal done for the Gladbach star.

It has been suggested that Man Utd are also looking to strengthen their midfield department this summer. They have already been linked with a host of options over the last few months with Kone being among them.

Gladbach have reportedly slapped a £26m price tag on Kone’s head so Man Utd or Liverpool would be able to purchase him for an affordable fee should they decide to formalise their interest.

Kone can play anywhere across the middle of the park. He is technically sound, dynamic, can link-up play from defence to attack, can dribble past opposition defenders in tight areas and also can contribute defensively as well.

The 22-year-old is an extremely talented player and would certainly bolster Man Utd or Liverpool’s engine room if either club manage to secure his signature during the off-season.

Liverpool are thought to have rejected RB Leipzig’s opening bid to buy Fabio Carvalho outright, as they do not want to let the young forward leave permanently.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds signed Carvalho from Fulham for a £7.7million fee last summer after his role in helping the Cottagers win the Championship.

However, the 20-year-old started just seven games all season at Liverpool, leading to thoughts that Carvalho could be tempted with a move away from Anfield after just one season on Merseyside.

As previously reported by Mail Sport’s Simon Jones, Liverpool had rejected a permanent offer for Carvalho from a mystery bidder, and now Fabrizio Romano has unveiled German club RB Leipzig as leading the march for the Portuguese star.

The Reds could include a buy-back clause in any permanent deal struck, and the clubs will debate that if a fee can be agreed upon.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp previously confirmed the possibility of a temporary move away from Anfield for Carvalho, while hailing the Portuguese man’s training ethic.

Klopp said: ‘I think there is a maybe a possibility Fabio goes on loan.

‘But the thing is this was not Fabio’s best year in his career, clearly, but it might have been his most important.

‘No player has impressed me more than Fabio, it is the truth.

‘This talented boy came here with big dreams and big expectations and it didn’t work out – it was okay in the beginning but it didn’t work out in the end.

‘But his work ethic will give him a fantastic career because he trained with getting nothing.’

Burnley are thought to be keen on taking him for a season after their promotion to the top-flight, under the helm of Vincent Kompany.

Carvalho featured in 10 of Liverpool’s first 11 Premier League games in the 2022-23 season, but has since found game time hard to come by.

Carvalho was an unused substitute as Liverpool drew 4-4 with Southampton on the final day of the Premier League season.
