• Real Madrid & PSG rumoured to interest
• Reds demanding a significant transfer fee despite defender’s expiring contract

Liverpool expect demand a major transfer fee for centre-back Ibrahima Konate. That could prove prohibitive to rumoured suitors Real Madrid.

Madrid have suffered with a lack defensive depth this season, with Eder Militao ruled out with another ACL injury, David Alaba continuing to suffer fitness problems since returning from his own such ACL absence, and even Antonio Rudiger not completely bulletproof.

Raul Asencio has been promoted from the B team to help cover the shortfall. There are doubts about his long-term suitability, as well as how long Alaba may last.

Madrid had wanted Leny Yoro on a free คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย transfer this summer, but Manchester United offered Lille a sizeable fee last summer instead. RB Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba has link, as was Virgil van Dijk at the opposite end of the spectrum before his new Liverpool contract.
