Roma midfielder Manu Kone is Liverpool’s “priority” transfer target over Lamine Camara in the final days of the window, according to journalist Khadim Diakhate. Camara has been talked up as an exciting option for Liverpool in recent days, with Ben Jacobs saying they and Chelsea have been given the chance to sign the Monaco star: “Monaco’s Lamine Camara has been offered to Chelsea and Liverpool as a late window opportunity.

Crystal Palace had a bid turned down earlier this month.” But now, Diakhate has provided a new update regarding Liverpool’s search for a midfielder on X, saying Roma ace Kone is the leading option to bring in, rather than Camara: “There is a strong likelihood that the transfer will come to fruition, as Manu Koné remains Liverpool’s priority in midfield. The main obstacle, however, is still AS Roma, which is not open to selling at this time.” Is Manu Kone an ideal midfield option for Liverpool?

He’s having a great World Cup. It shows his potential and the work he’s put in.” Kone would add the defensive quality that Liverpool crave in midfield, with 19-year-old Trey Nyoni the only natural No.6 in the squad, but it remains to be seen if Roma would be willing to sell such an important player.
