Real Madrid is already conspicating about the Trent Alexander-Arnold style raid on Liverpool
Liverpool fans are still in shock from confirmation that Trent Alexander-Arnold is imminent exit Anfield, but Real Madrid could already plan a similar assault on Ibrahima Konate, a new report said.
Alexander-Arnold will probably join Madrid as a free agent in the coming weeks. The right rear could potentially order nominal transfer fees that would allow him to create a link with his new teammates earlier and be involved in the next FIFA club World Cup.
Some fans of Anfield during the Premier League on Sunday returned their feelings at the right back, when his name was read before the match, then when he was brought as a substitute in the second period. But it was a situation that made a few years by taking place, with delayed initial contract talks from the summer of 2023, Alexander-Arnold exploring his other options, then deciding that a new challenge was the best even after Liverpool offered a major salary increase.
The concern from Liverpool’s point of view is that Real Madrid has established a precedent that works.
The club waited for Kylian Mbappe to become a free agent in 2024 and hoped to recruit Leny Yoro in the same way this year, until Manchester United skirted them out of the water last summer.
Madrid hopes to sign Dean Huijsen, whose release clause caps its transfer costs to 50 million pounds sterling (59 million euros) and can be paid in three payments. But, according to ASEven a successful prosecution of the 20 -year -old would not only make the club “forget” the central defender of Liverpool, whose current agreement expires in 2026.
Madrid has masked problems at the center of defense for too long and has to face the long -term future. Antonio Rudiger, who underwent surgery after playing “intense pain” during a large part of this campaign, and David Alaba will both be 33 years old on his next birthday, while Eder Militao is currently sidelined with a second tear of ACL in as many seasons.
Soon 26 years, Konate is entering what should be the peak years of his career and there is no guarantee, as was the case with Alexander-Arnold, that he will sign a new Liverpool contract.
