However, the Merseyside club still needs a few more additions to refresh the squad and make it more competitive next season.##NAJAVA_MECA_7319456##One of the options for Jurgen Klopp is Borussia Monchengladbach’s Manu Kone, who is also a target for Aston Villa and Wolverhampton. But Konate is keen to be reunited with the younger son of France’s legendary defender Lilian Thuram.”Khephren’s like a younger brother to me. He’s someone I watched grow. I was with his older brother at the academy level. I saw him perform well and progress greatly. It was incredible. I was impressed when he came to join the French national team for his first cap. I saw him in training, and I was really surprised by his height and his technical ability.”Konate: “If Khéphren has the opportunity to come to a club like Liverpool, I think he will be surprised by the enthusiasm that will come behind him. It’s up to him to work. He is still very young but he has an incredible margin for progress so I have confidence.” pic.twitter.com/8W6gKUfHID— The Anfield Talk (@TheAnfieldTalk) June 13, 2023 Konate has made steady progress himself at Liverpool since joining from RB Leipzig in 2021, making his senior France debut last year and earning nine caps so far at the senior level. The defender has been called up to Didier Deschamps’ squad for the June internationals, while Thuram will head to the European Championships with the Under-21 side.”I would be very happy to see him join Liverpool, take him under my wing and do everything to help him progress. Now it’s his turn to work. But I’ll do everything for him to become a top player.”
