Liverpool is expected to demand large Transfer The expenses of centre-back Ibrahima Konate may be thrilling to rumored suitor Real Madrid.
Madrid lacks defensive depth this season, and Eder Militao ruled out Eder Militao due to another injury, David Alaba continues to suffer from fitness issues since he returned from his ACL absence and even Antonio Rudiger isn't completely bulletproof.
Raul Asencio has been promoted from Team B to help fill the shortage, but there are questions about his long-term suitability and how long Alaba may last.
Madrid hopes Leny Yoro will make a free transfer this summer, but Manchester United offered Lille a considerable fee last summer. RB Leipzig's Castello Lukeba stayed in touch with Virgil Van Dijk, as did Virgil van Dijk before his new Liverpool contract.
Konate is another link to the Bernabeu switch and Paris Saint-Germain. but Marca Liverpool did not allow the Frenchman to be cheap, even if his contract was one year left.
The stated asking price is 100 million euros (£84 million), which is considered too much in Madrid.
Instead, the Spanish giants hope to continue to capitalize on the free agent market, just like with Kylian Mbappe in 2024, will now be tied to Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Liverpool lost another key defender in a free transfer, especially the huge blow they invested money to sign was a huge blow, not the local Alexander Arnold.
It was recently revealed that Konate demands a significant increase in negotiations with Liverpool, and they are believed to have entered the market with a new central defender this summer. Bournemouth's Dean Huijsen is one of several players being considered.
