Although the club's remarkable rally back toward the Champions League slots finally failed, this served as the impetus and it offered a bright path for the future. But even so, this is where signings are important.


Arriving from Brighton, Alexis Mac Allister will provide some much-needed offensive thrust from a deeper position, but he won't be the only arrival.


Manu Kone of Borussia Monchengladbach and Khephren Thuram of Nice, according to Mail Sport, are on their shortlist. Both would be shrewd incomings and might enable Klopp to break the tie in the pitch's middle.


Liverpool will benefit from adding a more youthful edge to this important department, and the makeover is already complete.

While club officials were debating the possibility of signing Kone, Thuram was undoubtedly being monitored. According to L'Equipe, talks about a settlement for the former have started, and the wage bill has been reduced because of the impending departures.


Thuram, the brother of Monchengladbach winger Marcus and the son of great defender Lillian, is held in high regard. He clearly has football in his blood.


While this was happening, Kone joined Monchengladbach in January 2021. Since then, he has played 60 times for the Bundesliga team, appearing 60 times and scoring 4 goals.


Liverpool should be able to afford the sum, which has been said to be between £35 million and £40 million. They'd be wise to pay the price given his exceptional talent.


Although Kone is the pair's more defensive-minded member,



Delphlyx claims that Kone and Thuram are crucial players in the Premier League because they both read the game well and have good pass completion rates.


More specifically, Kone's is 86.02 percent, whereas Thuram's is 87.47 percent.


Kone and Thuram would provide a counterbalance to Mac Allister's aggressiveness and creativity with their defensive instincts and skills.


Jacek Kulig, a scout, referred to Kone in particular as a "one-man army in midfield" and complimented his performance against Bayern Munich earlier this year.


Thanks in part to Kone's outstanding individual performance, Monchengladbach defeated the eventual Bundesliga winners. He won 14 of 16 games with a calm performance that saw him record a pass accuracy of 95%.
