Liverpool have already suffered enough pain at the hands of Liverpool this summer. Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to leave his boyhood club for a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, and Dean Huijsen has snubbed Anfield in favour of joining the Spanish giants.
The way Real Madrid tapped up Alexander-Arnold over the last year and convinced him to leave Anfield in favour of the glitz and glamour of the Spanish capital is a sore point for Liverpool.
The Merseyside giants are also set to lose out on the signing of Dean Huijsen, their top centre-back target, who is set to move to Real Madrid, who have triggered his £50m release clause.
However, Real Madrid are now working behind the scenes to pull the rug under Liverpool’s feet again by snaring another top star away from Anfield.
Name the team Liverpool signed these players from in the 2010s?
Real Madrid are again employing the same dirty tricks
Ibrahima Konate’s contract situation is a major worry for Liverpool ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Frenchman has been a colossus this season, but he has a year left on his contract, and for months, there has been no progress in negotiations over a new deal.
Liverpool believe Paris Saint-Germain’s interest has turned his head, and he could be returning to his hometown in the French capital this summer.
However, Konate has shown little indication that he wants to leave Liverpool this summer despite his contract tussle with the club.
Real Madrid are about to sign Huijsen, but Konate remains a target, and according to AS, they want to sign him on a free transfer next summer.
The Spanish giants have already indicated to the defender that if he wants to move to the Spanish capital, he should run down his contract like Alexander-Arnold.
It would be a massive PR disaster for Liverpool if they lose another high-value player to Real Madrid on a free transfer for the second year running.
