HITC understands that Manu Kone has been offered to a host of clubs in England in the last few weeks.

The 23-year-old midfielder has been offered to Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United as well as Fulham.

All four English sides have shown an interest in Manu Kone and watched him in action over the last 12 months.

Borussia Monchengladbach have confirmed they will allow Kone to leave this summer after he asked that they listen to offers for him.

Chelsea identified Kone as a potential replacement for Conor Gallagher, while Newcastle United had also made him a target in the January window.

Monchengladbach director Roland Virkus confirmed last week that he has asked to leave the club, “Manu Kone told us quite early on that he wanted to leave the club, but there is no update,” he said.

HITC is told that Kone’s representatives have made a number of English clubs aware of his situation as he continues his search for a new home this summer.

Manu Kone asking price revealed

Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United and Fulham are all in the market for midfield reinforcements this summer and they may be tempted into a move for Kone after hearing his asking price.

Sources have told HITC that Gladbach want around £20million for the 23-year-old this summer after his request to leave.

Kone is currently at the Olympics with the French squad – a move away is expected to accelerate once his time in Paris finishes.

AC Milan are another club who have shown an interest in Kone and they see him as a possible alternative to Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana if they cannot agree terms with the 25-year-old.

Where will Manu Kone end up?

Tottenham’s double move for Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall has addressed their need for a midfielder, while Liverpool’s priority is to add more firepower to Arne Slot’s squad.

As for United, they remain in talks with PSG for Manuel Ugarte with a new midfielder towards the top of their shopping list.

To make space for Ugarte, United could sell Scott McTominay to Fulham after rejecting a bid from the Londoners earlier this month.

Kone’s availability could now throw a spanner into the works if Fulham prefer the Frenchman over McTominay.
