Watch out for MASSIVE exit as Liverpool close in on double-signing

Liverpool are closing in on two brilliant signings right now. But watch out for a massive exit on the back of them.

Liverpool hope to complete multiple transfers before the window closes. Alexander Isak is, of course, at the top of their list and the dream signing.

That’s been the case all year - but Newcastle United will not make it easy. We’ll just have to see how the remaining days of the transfer window play out.

But he’s certainly not the only one on the agenda. Liverpool aim to bring in both Marc Guehi and Giovanni Leoni.

That’s a pair of centre-backs, then, and at a time when there’s arguably a lack of room for both. Could the Reds actually give decent playing time to each of them?

Well, there’s one way...

Ibrahima Konate's future

Ibrahima Konate has one year remaining on his contract. Just under that now, actually.

He's yet to agree on a new one at Liverpool, essentially forcing their hand a bit. The club needs to consider life after Konate and they appear to be doing just that.

There is one spot in the squad, certainly, after Jarell Quansah left. But with Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez both around, five centre-backs seems like overkill.

Unless Konate is leaving. Real Madrid want to sign him and while their plan is currently to make that happen in 2026 on a free transfer, there has been talk of an offer this summer.

Cadena SER, for instance, claimed last month that Real Madrid would pay around €25m for Konate. That's far below Liverpool's asking price but we imagine that asking price would drop if Guehi arrived.

Liverpool, after all, would much prefer to have this situation sorted and dealt with now rather than another year of contract discussion.

Do we think Konate will leave? It's hard to say. But we also think it's difficult to believe that Guehi would move to Anfield this summer if the Frenchman were still here.

So if Liverpool end up signing both Guehi and Leoni, it points to a quick exit for Konate. Surely.
