Liverpool advances efforts for Manu Kone, fee could reach €90m
Summary

Liverpool is reportedly pursuing a deal for AS Roma midfielder Manu Kone, with discussions indicating a possible fee around €90 million. The club seeks to bolster its midfield after losing Curtis Jones to Inter and not adequately replacing him in the summer transfer window. Liverpool's current midfield struggles have prompted interest in defensive specialists, yet Kone's similarity to existing players may raise questions about the investment. Despite concerns, Liverpool remains a frontrunner in the pursuit alongside Chelsea. ASRomaLive reports Kone's price has increased from an initial €60 million estimate.
