Liverpool’s striving for Marc Guehi could indicate a possible outcome for Ibrahima Konate.
According to the former Reds player Jermaine Pennant, who believes that the club could replace the fan favorite defender at an early stage.
Konate entered the last year of his contract with Angeldd and leads to rumors about a certain goal.
According to various reports, the winners of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and clubs in Saudi Arabia, are interested in the France international.
It is believed that talks about a possible extension have not yet been completed, but so far no agreement has been reached between Liverpool and one of its Star defenders.
In the meantime, Liverpool are hot favorites to sign Guehi, which seems on the way out of the Crystal Palace.
The English international also enters the last year of his contract and Talksport understands that the 24-year-old told his club that he has no intention of signing a new deal.
This could force the Eagles to let up this summer instead of losing it for free, whereby Palace is looking for a pound of 50 million.
The Guehi links have debated the Liverpool supporters, where he would fit into their team, especially with Virgil van Dijk and Konate as Arne Slots Clear First Choice Partners on the back.
There were suggestions that could indicate a possible change in formation from the slot to a back three -although many asked why the Dutch would change things so dramatically after winning the Premier League title.
The ex -Liverpool wing player Pennant has an alternative theory -that this could mean that Liverpool knows that Konate is switched off and is already planning to exit.
“When Liverpool is employed for Marc Guehi, Konate signals more on the side of abandoning,” the finalist of the Champions League with the Reds told Talksport.

“I think this is a situation like Real Madrid and Trent Alexander-Arnold, where Liverpool says to Guehi: ‘Just look your contract and we will take care of you.
“Because Konate is in the same situation, he is in the last year of his contract and you have not agreed.
“So Liverpool could say to him:” Look, Konate will go at the end of this season, Marc Guehi, you will look at your contract and come to offer for free and we are ready to offer you this. “

The British transfer record was broken on this bargain £ 29.5 million deal by Bayer Leverkusen to sign one of Frimpong’s teammates, the German playmaker Florian Wirtz.
In the meantime, the central defender Jarrell Quansah will go in the opposite direction to combine Leverkusen in a deal worth £ 30m.
Guehi could go on the way as an upgrade to Quansah and would also be a first -class replacement for Konate if the Frenchman should leave.
Konate has already talked about his future and admitted that he and the club have not yet agreed that he has expanded his stay in Angeld after rejecting the offer of a new deal that was introduced to him in the middle of the campaign.

“The rest [speculation] That I want to wait until the end … I want that, everything is completely wrong. And even the big journalists said in November that I was very close to the deal. I said, ‘Ah, you have more information than me!?’

“I knew in a moment that people would think that I didn’t want to sign the contract, but I was never about to sign it.
“We will see what will happen.”
