Echo: Liverpool may face the risk of losing Connaet, they still want to sign Guy

September 13th According to the Echo, Liverpool may face the risk of losing Conat, and they still want to sign Crystal Palace captain Guy as a replacement.

Currently, Konath has only the last year left in his contract, and if he fails to renew his contract with him in the next few months, Liverpool will have to sell him at a low price next January or let him leave at the end of the season free transfer.

According to Spanish media reports, Real Madrid is confident that they will sign 26-year-old Connaet for free next summer. This summer, Real Madrid has poached Arnold, whose contract expired from Liverpool. Liverpool received £10 million from the England international's departure, including £8.4 million in severance and a month's salary savings.

Under FIFA transfer rules, the club must notify the current club in writing before negotiating with the player. If the player's contract expires within six months, he is free to sign pre-contracts with other clubs. Therefore, from January 1, 2026, Real Madrid can negotiate with Conat and sign a pre-contract.

Although it is not yet certain whether Connate will leave, it is possible that he will follow Arnold to join Real Madrid. Liverpool are already preparing for a future centre-back position, and while Van Dijk renewed his two-year contract in April, he will be close to 36 when the contract expires, and the Reds inevitably need to make a succession plan.

Kunsa was sold to Leverkusen with a transfer fee of up to £35 million, but Liverpool has a buyback clause and has reached a future contract clause with the centre-back. In addition, Liverpool also signed 18-year-old Leoni from Parma for £26 million, seen as a potential successor.

Liverpool also tried to sign Crystal Palace's Guy for £35 million, but the deal failed on the deadline because Crystal Palace failed to find a replacement. Guy will also expire next summer, when he will become a free agent. While Liverpool may sign Guy at a low price in January, they are more likely to wait until next summer to sign a pre-contract with him.

It is reported that Guere has attracted the interest of many clubs including Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Juventus. Like Konath, Guy can also negotiate and sign pre-contracts with other clubs starting January 1, 2026. Considering that Liverpool was close to signing Guy on the deadline and had even started a physical examination, the possibility of finally completing the transfer is not small.
