According to Fussball Transfers, Borussia Monchengladbach has reduced the fee in question for Newcastle United target Manu Kone.
Fabrizio Romano stated a month ago that Eddie Howe’s side was interested in signing the Paul Pogba-like midfielder in the summer. The Magpies were expected to face competition for the 21-year-old ‘diamond,’ with PSG and Borussia Dortmund linked with his signature.
However, if Newcastle works hard to ensure that Manu Kone plays at St. James’ Park, they may be able to sign him for a lower fee, as Gladbach has reportedly reduced their asking price.
The current fifth-placed Premier League side is expected to add to their squad in the summer, as it is clear that they lack the depth to compete for Champions League football without breaking a sweat.
Now, Fussball Transfers has revealed that Borussia Monchengladbach have reduced their asking price from £39 million to a £26 million fee in order to sign Manu Kone ahead of next season.
It has been claimed that any interested party who submits this fee can begin negotiations with the Bundesliga club.
With Manu Kone rightfully regarded as one of Europe‘s most exciting midfield prospects, the opportunity to sign him for a bargain fee after Gladbach reportedly reduced their asking price is a boon for Newcastle.
Given that the English team is one of the wealthiest in the world, selling clubs are always expected to try to fleece them as much as possible in the transfer market.
Given that they now have a rare opportunity to strengthen an area of the pitch at a relatively low cost, it is an offer they cannot refuse.
