Paris saint-germain (psg), the ligue 1 champions, has reportedly entered the race to sign liverpool target manu kone. Luis enrique’s side has rekindled interest in the borussia monchengladbach midfielder, according to daveockop, and could make a move for him in january. Since his inception as one of europe’s brightest young midfielders, manu kone has been a player in high demand in recent years. Since joining the bundesliga side from toulouse in 2021, the frenchman has gone from strength to strength.
Kone’s current contract with die fohlen expires in the summer of 2026, putting the bundesliga side in a good spot to ask for a substantial fee. Liverpool has been a long-time fan of kone, but they are now facing psg, according to daveockop. Psg boss luis enrique is eyeing kone for more energy and flair after a disappointing start to the season. The parisians finished second in their champions league group and now have just a five-point lead at the top of ligue 1. In the summer, paris saint-germain’s midfield was restructured, with manuel ugarte and kang-in lee being added to the squad. They also parted ways with renato sanches, marco verratti, and georginio wijnaldum, among others.
In the summer, liverpool made four changes to their midfield, including dominik szoboszlai, alexis mac allister, wataru endo, and ryan gravenberch. They also parted ways with five midfielders, while thiago alcantara has not played for the reds this season due to injuries. Kone is an all-round midfielder who is gifted technically and physically well. He looks like a top midfielder in the making at just 22 years old, and it’s no wonder big clubs are signing up for him.
