"Liverpool are keeping an eye on Ronald Araujo's situation at Barcelona as they look for possible replacements for Ibrahima Konate. As I revealed earlier this morning in my piece for the Daily Briefing, the Reds are starting to plan for life without Konate, who is edging closer to the end of his contract. Araujo is someone Liverpool are understood to be keen on, while there's also been mention of Chelsea and Tottenham monitoring the Uruguay international's situation at the Nou Camp."
"As we all know now, LFC have left themselves in weak positions with some of their star players and new contracts in recent times. The Merseyside giants left it late to tie down Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk last season, while Trent Alexander-Arnold ended up running down his deal and leaving. It seems Konate could be next, and Liverpool fans will have to hope they can do something with a top centre-back like Araujo or they're going to be desperately short at the back."
Liverpool are preparing for the possible departure of Ibrahima Konate as his contract approaches its end and the player can negotiate with foreign clubs from January 1. Ronald Araujo of Barcelona has emerged as a realistic target, with Chelsea and Tottenham also reportedly monitoring his situation and Barca potentially open to a 50-60m sale. Liverpool have a recent history of late contract renewals, having delayed deals for Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk and losing Trent Alexander-Arnold after a contract standoff. The club aims to secure a top centre-back to avoid being short at the back.
