"Konate has been linked with a move away from Anfield for a long time, particularly to Real Madrid. He is set to become a free agent next summer and his talks with Arne Slot's team over a new deal have not progressed well, opening the door for him to leave next summer. If Real Madrid step up their interest, his head could be turned, just like it did with Alexander-Arnold."
"As for Wirtz, the Germany international midfielder joined the Reds in a big money move last summer but his failure to settle in the Premier League and his struggles throughout the season show how difficult he is finding to regain his form that made him one of the most wanted players in the world. Under the leadership of Alonso, Wirtz can shine again. It was Alonso who brought the best out of Wirtz at Bayer Leverkusen and they both enjoy a strong relationship."
Real Madrid completed a transfer for Trent Alexander-Arnold and are pursuing Liverpool players Florian Wirtz and Ibrahima Konate, with Angelo Stiller also on the radar. Xabi Alonso's team are underperforming and trail Barcelona in the La Liga title race, prompting plans to reinforce multiple positions. Konate faces a potential exit as his contract talks at Liverpool have stalled and he will be a free agent next summer. Wirtz has struggled to settle in the Premier League after a big-money move but could rediscover form under Alonso, who previously maximized his potential at Bayer Leverkusen. Securing all targets will be challenging but remains a priority to strengthen the squad.
