Real Madrid locks in target without a signing! Liverpool central defender Conat refuses to renew his contract, waiting for Bernabeu for 25 million euros

In the past two days, Premier League giant Liverpool has targeted Crystal Palace's Guy and Parma's young player Leoni. Well-known transfer expert Romano has gone to Oleni's deal here. Once these two signings are advanced, the prospects of the team's central defender Connate at Anfield will become a bit subtle. He has only one year left in his contract, and both Real Madrid and Paris have set their sights on him and plan to sign for free next summer. Liverpool certainly wants to renew his contract, but the situation is not optimistic.

According to reliable news, such as "Marca", Liverpool will hand Konath the final contract renewal in the next few days. If he still disagrees, the club may have to sell him this summer so as not to leave for free next year like Arnold and get nothing.

Real Madrid has a clear mind: they just want to copy the visa-free Arnold model and win Conat in the summer of 2026 without spending a penny. Although Liverpool once asked for 50 million euros, Real Madrid killed only 25 million yuan. The key point lies in Connat's own thoughts. Spanish media reported many times that he "did not consider renewing his contract, he just wanted to join Real Madrid", and may even have negotiated with Real Madrid in private.

However, Real Madrid's plan to buy central defenders this summer has changed a bit. Because Militon returned to power in the preseason, head coach Alonso felt that there was no need to rush to buy new players for the time being. So Real Madrid has now closed the door to buy central defenders this summer and is fully focused on the matter of signing Connaet next year without signing next year.

This is quite a pressure on Liverpool. Connat wanted to leave, but Real Madrid was eyeing him, forcing Liverpool to find a way out. Except for Guy and Leoni, their central defenders are not enough: Gomez has been recuperating for a long time, and Quanza has transferred to Leverkusen, and the healthy central defenders who can now use Vandy Deck and Connat. If Connat really leaves, the new Guy will likely be directly above the main position. It is said that the transfer agreement also contains terms to ensure his starting opportunity, and Liverpool has prepared in advance.

It depends on Conat's attitude now. If he is determined not to renew the contract, Liverpool may have to accept letting him go to Real Madrid this summer for a price of about 25 million euros. Once the deal for Gey is finally finalized (now there is mainly 5 million pounds away from the additional terms and conditions), the road from Conat to the Bernabeu is basically paved.
