No replacement is planned for the moment due to the club's financial difficulties, which would mean that the free agent market will certainly be re -examined.
Several central defenders have been mentioned with Barcelona in recent weeks, but one of the most surprising names is that of Ibrahima Konaté. The defender of Liverpool is in the last 12 months of his contract in Anfield and, at this stage, he has not shown no intention to extend his contract, which would mean that he would be available for free.
Barcelona is very interested in Konaté
Real Madrid is very interested in Konaté and plans to recruit it free, even if it could advance this project this summer. However, Barcelona is also ready to embark on the race. As Sempre Barca reports, Barcelona is very interested in Konaté and would have already led preliminary discussions with those around him. It was also revealed that the Liverpool player would be delighted to join the Spotify Camp Nou, where he would compete for a place as a holder alongside players like Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo.
Konaté would be a sensational recruit for Barcelona
Konaté would undoubtedly be a recruit of choice for Barcelona, especially in the current circumstances. Bringing a full and free central defender is exactly the kind of project that the Catalans must carry out in this delicate period, even if it will be very difficult to get ahead of Real Madrid to recruit it, provided that it does not extend with Liverpool before next summer.
