Get French Football News have reported that Liverpool have made preliminary contact with Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone and the Reds are keen on acquiring his services.

Kone was pivotal for the Bundesliga side this season, becoming untouchable and unmovable from the starting lineup.

Big picture for Liverpool

With Liverpool losing key players like James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita on free transfers this summer, Kone will represent a smart investment, especially if they are also able to pull off, as expected, a deal for Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister.
