Liverpool transfer news: £70m Ibrahima Konate successor identified by the Reds? ...Middle East

Liverpool expect to very probably lose Ibrahima Konate during the next summer transfer window. The English club wish to anticipate his departure and have already identified his successor, valued at £70m.

Out of contract in June 2026, Ibrahima Konate will in all likelihood leave Liverpool at the end of the season. Real Madrid are in pole position to welcome the French defender. Despite the recruitment of Giovanni Leoni this summer, the Reds need a more experienced player to accompany Virgil van Dijk. Several profiles are being studied by the English directors.

The most credible target is the one that leads to Marc Guehi. The Crystal Palace captain was moreover very close to joining Liverpool this summer, but the transfer collapsed in the final minutes of the transfer window. If he remains a priority for the English club, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are also interested. According to information from the Daily Express, Liverpool could fall back on Ousmane Diomande.

Liverpool thinking about Ousmane Diomande to replace Konate

Indeed, the British media state that if the Marc Guehi matter becomes too complicated, then the Ousmane Diomande case will become much more concrete. The Sporting Portugal centre-back is valued at €45m (£38.5m) but possesses a clause set at €80m (£68m). Last summer, he was heavily courted on the market, but the Lisbon club managed to keep him.

At 21 years old, Ousmane Diomande is considered one of the greatest talents on the African continent. The Ivory Coast international (9 caps) has been the stalwart of Sporting's defence for two years. Measuring 1.90m, he has a profile that greatly appeals to Liverpool. However, he was the victim of an injury at the start of the season. The English club will certainly analyse his physical condition before potentially taking action.
