The Reds want to beat Manchester United to a top young talent
Reims’ 19-year-old midfielder, Amadou Kone, has had a stellar season and is expected to move on from the club in the upcoming summer transfer window.
According to Football Insider, the two biggest clubs in the Premier League, Liverpool and Manchester United, are in a battle to sign the youngster in the coming months.
Scouts have sent glowing reports about Kone to the two giants, and they are now pushing towards convincing him to choose them ahead of other options in the summer.
Kone is seen as the next big thing in midfield, and Manchester United and Liverpool are keen to sign him before his price explodes in the coming years.
Reims are prepared to sell him, and are ready to accept a fee in the region of £20m in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The midfielder would likely want guarantees of regular minutes before choosing his next destination.
