"According to Fichajes, Liverpool are looking at him as a potential replacement for Ibrahima Konate. The French International will leave Liverpool when his contract expires in the summer of 2026. He has not signed an extension with the Premier League champions. The Reds will need to find a quality replacement, and the African could be the ideal long-term investment for them. He has shown his quality in Portugal, and he has the physicality to do well in the Premier League as well."
"Meanwhile, Chelsea are keen on the defender as well. They need to add more quality and depth to the defensive unit. The 21-year-old will help them tighten up at the back. The opportunity to move to Chelsea or Liverpool will be quite exciting for the young defender. He will want to compete at the highest level, and moving to the Premier League could be ideal. Regular football in England could accelerate his development."
