LIVERPOOL KEY TO BLOCKBUSTER PLAYER SWAP THAT MIGHT SAVE ARNE SLOT
Liverpool could offer Ibrahima Konaté to Real Madrid in a stunning swap deal for unsettled midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. The move would address a key area for Arne Slot ahead of the January window.
Arne Slot's season might be drastically altered if Liverpool were to make a huge trade offer to one of their most formidable opponents.
Only seven weeks have passed since the transfer market officially closed, following a summer in which some of the greatest teams in the world made several significant acquisitions.
Liverpool was unquestionably one of the largest summertime spenders, bringing players like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Alexander Isak to Anfield after Arne Slot led them to the Premier League title in his first season.
Assuming all bonuses are paid, Liverpool spent approximately £449 million in the summer. Despite this, there are already rumours that the Reds are busy preparing their next moves in the market.
Slot may be able to bring one of the players who have been linked to transfers to Liverpool to Anfield as part of a trade deal, which might help him turn around the season's unsatisfactory start.
Real Madrid probably won the beginning of the transfer window by signing several important players, including former Liverpool sensation Trent Alexander-Arnold, even though Liverpool might have won the end.
Given that centre-back Ibrahima Konate's contract is set to expire at the end of the current campaign, it has long been believed that Real Madrid will continue to pursue Liverpool's top players.
Following the arrival of Alexander-Arnold, centre-back Dean Huijsen, and left-back Alvaro Carreras last summer, Konate would be the most recent addition to the 15-time Champions League champion's already strong back line.
However, it has been stated that Real Madrid has chosen not to extend Antonio Rüdiger's contract before it expires in July to make room for the Frenchman on their wage books.
Liverpool might, however, present their European opponents with a different option that would even let Konate depart the team for nothing in January.
In addition to Rüdiger, Eduardo Camavinga is also said to be 'bitter' about his treatment since the Spaniard's arrival and has apparently lost favour with Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso.
The midfield player has only played 141 minutes this season, which has sparked speculation that he may be willing to quit the team soon.
If this is true, Liverpool might present itself as the Frenchman's next suitor, opening the door to a deal that would see Camavinga and Konate leave in January.
It would make perfect sense to let Konate go to get some sort of compensation for his departure if Liverpool were to finally sign Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi in January after coming very close to doing so on deadline day.
Slot may be able to deploy the two-time Champions League winner in place of Alexis Mac Allister, who has struggled this season, if Camavinga's signing was a part of this comeback.
THE KONATé CROSSROADS: WHY ARNE SLOT IS DESPERATE TO KEEP LIVERPOOL’S DEFENSIVE PILLAR
Arne Slot confirms ongoing contract talks with Ibrahima Konaté! Read Virgil van Dijk's "world-class" verdict and transfer updates.
Liverpool is trying to lock down Ibrahima Konate on a new contract, and Arne Slot has made it pretty clear he wants the defender to stick around.
Right now, there’s a real risk they lose Konate for nothing next summer. He cost them £36 million, but his contract runs out soon, and if they don’t sort things out, he could just walk away.
Meanwhile, Liverpool haven’t been sitting on their hands. They brought in Giovanni Leoni last summer for £26 million, and they’ve already lined up Jeremy Jacquet for an initial £55 million. He’ll join up after the season ends. So, yeah, they’re planning for the future in that backline.
Still, Virgil van Dijk isn’t shy about what he thinks. After Konate’s standout performance in Wednesday’s 1-0 win at Sunderland, Van Dijk called him “world class” and said, “Obviously, I want him to stay.”
Slot says the club’s working on it: “We’re in talks with him, so you can see what we want. We want him here. It’s ongoing, so we’ll see where it ends up. We wouldn’t be negotiating if we didn’t want him.”
Liverpool went through all this last year too: Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all heading into the last stretch of their deals. The club managed to keep Van Dijk and Salah. Now Slot’s basically saying it’s Konate’s turn to decide.
Konate has played 33 times this season. Last month, after his father passed away, he even cut short his compassionate leave to face Newcastle. That says a lot.
And with all the injuries Liverpool have had, Slot’s just glad Konate and Van Dijk are still healthy. “He’s been as important as Virgil,” Slot said. “There’s a bit of an age gap, and that matters sometimes. Ibou’s had a good run with lots of strong games, even if earlier in the season, one mistake cost us a goal, and people judged him for that. But his partnership with Virgil has been really solid since I arrived. Both have stayed fit, touch wood. We need them, not just for their quality but because, honestly, we don’t have many options behind them.”
INJURY BLOW: WATARU ENDO RULED OUT FOR "CONSIDERABLE PERIOD" AFTER SUNDERLAND HORROR INJURY
Wataru Endo is out for a "considerable period." Discover Arne Slot’s latest update on the Liverpool injury crisis and right-back woes.
Arne Slot said that Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo will be out for a while.
The 33-year-old midfielder seemed to get seriously hurt during the second half of their 1-0 win against Sunderland on Wednesday.
Endo, who was playing his first Premier League game of the season, was filling in at right-back. He got hurt when his foot was pinned under him while he tried to clear the ball. The Japanese international tried to keep playing, but he soon collapsed in pain and needed oxygen as he was taken off the field.
Liverpool is having a lot of injury problems at right-back, and Slot said that Endo is the latest player to get hurt in that position.
Before the FA Cup game against Brighton on Saturday, Slot said, We still need to check things out, but he'll be out for a considerable period.
Endo was playing right back because Dominik Szoboszlai was sent off in the loss to Manchester City on Sunday. Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong are also out with injuries. Giovani Leoni and Alexander Isak are also injured for an extended time.
But there was good news for Slot, as Joe Gomez played for the first time in three games, replacing Endo on the right side of the defence.
Slot's update comes after he said, after the Sunderland gam,e that he wasn't sure how bad Endo's injury was, but he called it serious.
"We don't know how serious it is yet because we need to check it out, but it doesn't look good," Slot added.
I'm not sure if it's his ankle. It's his foot, but we have to check if it's his ankle or his foot. I think he'll be out for a really long time. It's hard to say exactly how long right now.
