"Marc Pubill to replace Konate? Ibrahima Konate will be out of contract in the summer, and he has not signed an extension with the Premier League champion. They will need to replace the French International and the Spaniard could be a quality long-term acquisition. Joe Gomez is expected to be on his way out of the club as well. They will need a versatile defender, and the 22-year-old could be ideal for them."
"Pubill is highly rated at Atletico Madrid, and they will not want to lose him easily. He has a contract with them until 2030, and they are under no pressure to sanction his departure. Liverpool might have to pay a premium in order to sign the 22-year-old defender. They have looked quite poor defensively this season, and they need to improve in that area of the pitch if they are serious about winning titles again."
Liverpool are targeting Atletico Madrid's Marc Pubill, a highly-rated 22-year-old defender, for a summer transfer. The Spanish defender can play as both a central defender and right back, offering versatility Liverpool needs. Ibrahima Konate's contract expires in summer without extension, and Joe Gomez is expected to leave, creating defensive gaps. Pubill represents a long-term acquisition to strengthen Liverpool's backline, which has underperformed this season. However, the transfer may prove difficult as Atletico Madrid values him highly and he has a contract until 2030. Liverpool would likely need to pay a premium to secure his services, particularly given their disappointing season and potential Champions League qualification concerns.
