Chelsea are reportedly set to revisit their interest in Roma midfielder Manu Kone during the winter transfer window, according to Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb.
Last summer, the London club made a serious attempt to bring the French holding midfielder to Stamford Bridge, but the Romans firmly rejected their advances and blocked Kone's move to England.
The situation looks set to intensify come January, with Liverpool also expressing interest in the Frenchman. The Merseysiders are keeping a close eye on Kone's status and are ready to compete with Chelsea for the midfielder's signature.
Following the departures of Andre Santos and Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea's midfield, under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, is facing significant challenges regarding balance and reliability. As such, strengthening the centre of the park remains a top priority for the hierarchy at Stamford Bridge.
