Chelsea would prepare a direct offer for the potential surprise transfer of the central defender of Liverpool Ibrahima Konate.
The blues have just lost Levi Colwill because of a serious injury and are now supposed to align an ambitious decision to sign the Konate of their Liverpool rivals, according to a report by Chelsea News.
The French international was a key player for Liverpool, but is now in the last year of his contract with the Reds.
This could mean that there is certain pressure on Liverpool to sell Konate for a reduction in costs this summer to avoid losing it for free in a year.
Ibrahima Konate to make a surprise transfer from Chelsea to Liverpool?
It may seem unlikely that Liverpool sells an important player like Konate in Chelsea, but this report suggests that the giants of western London will really try.
Enzo Maresca has received a number of new fascinating new signatures this summer, with Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap and Jorrel Hato, but there may still be room for new additions in defense.
Hato is mainly a left back, so a central defender like Konate could give CFC a well -necessary upgrade on slightly unconvincing artists like Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile and the Wesley Fofana, subject to injuries.
Konate may be waiting for Real Madrid
Konate is also a target for Real Madrid, as Taken into account Previously reported, so he remains to be seen if he would choose Chelsea now.
It is more likely that Konate will wait for the end of his contract and will make his decision next summer when he is free to go where he loves.
Chelsea would do well to win the race for the signing of the 26 -year -old woman, but it will probably not be the simplest offer to make if an elite name like Madrid is also involved.
