Hi eds. Hope you're well. Do you think we may go for Kone? Back from injury now apparently.

{Ed002's Note - Manu Kouadio Kone (CM/DM) Prior interest of Milan has gone. Newcastle did approach Borussia Muenchegladbach but they will resist a sale and try and agree a new deal, but Newcastle remain keen. RBL are keen to add Kone to replace Laimer. Bayern Munich are light on DM and CM and are looking to add Kone and Laimer in the summer. Borussia Dortmund see him as a potential Bellingham replacement. Chelsea interest will have gone. Liverpool have spoken with his agents but not yet BM although the opportunity for nepotism exists for the club to exploit, so they should not be discounted - but it could alienate the Sporting Director from the supporters. Watched by a number of other Premier League sides including West Ham, Manchester United and Brighton. A wildcard maybe PSG or Wolves who are looking to replace Neves. A wildcard for Manchester City as well perhaps? Player wants Chelsea move but not being in the CL could influence him further. PSG may push and Liverpool could look to an offer. Asking price will by €60M including add ons.}

Ed002 how would Liverpool's approach be nepotism? Who amongst the LFC transfer committee has family ties to Monchengladbach or to Kone?
