"Liverpool are ready to splash more cash on a replacement for Ibrahima Konate in an attempt to resurrect their dismal start to the season. Konate is out of contract at Liverpool in the summer and the Reds have been active in their attempts to sign cover for the French international, with a deal to bring in Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi collapsing on deadline day."
"They signed 18-year-old Giovanni Leoni with the view that he would act as cover at central defence for Virgil van Dijk and Konate, but he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury on his debut in the Carabao Cup against Southampton. Konate, who is ranked at no.5 in FourFourTwo's list of the best centre-backs in the world right now, is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal,"
Liverpool have endured a poor start to the season with four consecutive Premier League defeats and 14 goals conceded in nine matches. Ibrahima Konate remains out of contract in the summer and has not yet signed a new deal, creating the prospect of his departure on a free transfer. An attempted move for Marc Guehi collapsed on deadline day, and 18-year-old Giovanni Leoni suffered an ACL injury after signing as defensive cover. Liverpool are reportedly preparing an offer for 21-year-old Joel Ordonez from Club Brugge, who value him above €40 million.
