Summary

Liverpool are reportedly preparing to join Manchester United in targeting AS Roma midfielder Manu Kone. Journalist Pete O’Rourke noted on the Transfer Insider podcast that Kone has been impressive during the World Cup and caught the interest of multiple clubs, including Liverpool. Kone had a successful season in Serie A, contributing two goals and three assists in 37 matches. His current contract with Roma runs until the summer of 2029, which may complicate any potential transfer.
