Maja Hitij/Getty Images Liverpool are facing fierce competition from Bayern Munich for the signature of Roma midfielder Manu Kone, as the Bavarians plot a swoop. Kone’s influence at Roma has continued into the current campaign, with the midfielder remaining a central component of Gian Piero Gasperini’s plan at the Stadio Olimpico.

Kone also resurfaced on Liverpool’s radar recently, with another body in midfield likely to be on the club’s agenda, not least given the uncertainty around Alexis Mac Allister. However, competition for the midfielder’s signature could intensify, potentially threatening to complicate Liverpool’s pursuit.

Should Bayern Munich follow through with a sizeable bid, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool would be prepared to enter a bidding war, with the winter window potentially bringing Kone’s future into sharper focus. Kone is currently sidelined after suffering an injury during last week’s Champions League clash against Real Madrid, with the midfielder expected to spend another three to four weeks out of action.
