Manu Koné is one of Jürgen Klopp's main targets for the transfer window

Last season our Liverpool was disappointing, as the team missed the minimum target of qualifying for the next edition of the Champions League, finishing in fifth place in the Premier League standings. One of the main causes of the failure was the poor performance of some players, among which Jordan Henderson stands out.

 

Henderson has been, during the last few years, a very important player for the team's success, as he has been Liverpool's captain during the club's last glorious period in which important titles were won both in England and in Europe and also at world level. However, Henderson's last season was far from the level he has shown in previous years.

Faced with these situations and the loss of other players such as Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jürgen Klopp has taken the decision to begin a restructuring of the team, starting by rejuvenating the squad, which is why he has prioritized the recruitment of young players.

The first reinforcement of the team, Alexis Mac Allister, is only 24 years old and already has a great track record, having just won the World Cup with Argentina in Qatar 2022. In addition to Mac Allister, Klopp is already analyzing the arrival of other young players and according to information from various media, one of the players that most interest the German tactician is the 22-year-old French midfielder, Manu Koné, who currently plays for Borussia Mönchengladbach.

 

Manu Koné's last great performance

Manu Koné is with the France U-21 national team, with whom he played a match against Iatlia. In that match Manu Koné had a great performance and was named Man of the Match. Performances like this bring him closer and closer to Anfield in which case Jordan Henderson could see his playing time greatly reduced.
