"Liverpool center back Ibrahima Konaté remains a way off signing a new contract, reports Teamtalk. Konate believes he should be among the highest-paid defenders in the Premier League, causing an issue with signing a contract extension. However, Teamtalk also report that Liverpool have a replacement in mind. The club are interested in Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven, even though any deal would likely have to invovle a significant transfer fee. Real Madrid are also keeping tabs on the Netherlands international's situation."
"Chelsea are considering a move for Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi, according to talkSPORT. The club are interested in a center back -- ESPN sources confirmed that they have held talks with Rennes over Jérémy Jacquet -- and they have added Senesi, whose contract expires in June, to their shortlist of transfer targets. Barcelona and Juventus have also been linked with him."
"Arsenal are willing to part ways with striker Gabriel Jesus. The Daily Mail reports that Palmeiras are interested in the 28-year-old, but it is said that he would prefer to be given until the end of the season to prove himself. Meanwhile, The Sun reports that Arsenal are looking at 19-year-old Real Madrid defender Víctor Valdepeñas. They are reported to be among several top clubs that have sent scouts to watch him after he made his debut in the LaLiga match against Alaves last month."
Ibrahima Konaté remains far from signing a new Liverpool contract after seeking top-defender wages, prompting Liverpool to identify replacements. Liverpool have targeted Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven, while Real Madrid are also monitoring his situation. Chelsea are pursuing center-back options, including Marcos Senesi whose contract expires in June, and have held talks with Rennes over Jérémy Jacquet. Arsenal are open to selling Gabriel Jesus with Palmeiras interested, though Jesus prefers to stay until season end to prove himself. Arsenal have scouted 19-year-old Real Madrid defender Víctor Valdepeñas, who can play center-back and full-back. Uncertainty surrounds Julián Álvarez's future.
