Kone has notably solidified his role as a key performer for the Bundesliga club, raising speculation about his possible impact on Liverpool’s midfield. With the Reds having faced challenges in securing a quality defensive midfielder during the summer transfer window, Kone is viewed as an ideal candidate to provide the much-needed anchor in the midfield.

The absence of a specialist in this role has led to Liverpool’s improvised use of players like Alexis Mac Allister in defensive midfield positions. Acquiring Kone would not only fortify Liverpool’s defensive capabilities but also unlock more creative freedom for players like Mac Allister, who could return to his natural role.

As negotiations loom on the horizon with Borussia Monchengladbach in the upcoming month, Liverpool faces the challenge of striking a reasonable deal. Kone’s contract with the German club extends until 2026, potentially prompting hefty demands from the Bundesliga outfit.
