Chelsea will be on high alert this summer with Gladbach already of the mindset that they will lose Manu Kone at the end of the season. The Blues will perhaps be joined by fellow interested party Liverpool in the same window, given the Reds’ clear need for reinforcements within the midfield department. “Manu Koné’s club, Gladbach, know that they will lose him this summer, unless something crazy happens,” Christian Falk exclusively revealed to in his latest Substack column. “There are talks now between the sporting director, Roland Virkus, and Koné’s management, discussing how much would be on the table for selling him (crazy amounts like €40-50m). We heard that Chelsea knocked on the door and have an interest in him. I don’t think he’s focused purely on one league, the most important thing for the player is focusing on the next step.” Whilst PSG can certainly pull on the midfielder’s connection to his homeland, their troubling form in Europe in recent years is perhaps not indicative of a project on the rise.
