After Jude Bellingham's rejected them, Liverpool FC's unexpected new target

The transfer market is starting to move and one of the teams looking for reinforcements is precisely Liverpool FC. The Anfield team failed to secure qualification for the next UEFA Champions League and therefore wants to avoid another season with similar results.

To do so, Liverpool has set itself the objective of reinforcing several of its lines in Jurgen Klopp's scheme. The English team must currently deal with the loss of Roberto Firmino and James Milner. In addition, it seems that other players are close to leaving and in the summer the squad will be renewed.

One of Liverpool FC's main objectives was to renew its midfield with two key elements such as Alexis Mac Allister and Jude Bellingham. The former, according to Daily Mail, is practically closed. However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Jude Bellingham is closer to Real Madrid than to Liverpool FC.

This has caused the club to adopt a different stance on its targets in the upcoming transfer window. Among them, the arrival of a new box-to-box midfielder who can make up for the various departures at the club. For this reason, an unexpected profile appears, but of great talent.

Which player would strengthen Liverpool after the rejection of Jude Bellingham?

It is precisely Manu Koné, who belongs to Borussia Monchengladbach. According to Christian Falk, "A possible fee for the defensive midfielder should be between 40 and 45 million euros, that's what Gladbach expects. Before Liverpool became interested, the €30 million was still under discussion. Koné's contract with Borussia runs until June 30, 2025."
