Liverpool’s Transfer Dilemma: Guehi and Konate…
Liverpool is scrambling like a cat chasing a laser pointer, eager to snap up Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi before the transfer window bangs shut. The club is fretting over Ibrahima Konate, who might fancy swapping Anfield for the glitzy Santiago Bernabéu, much like how Trent Alexander-Arnold earlier charmed his way to Real Madrid. The big difference? Konate’s recent form is shakier than a jelly at a rock concert, which is why manager Arne Slot wants Guehi on board, alongside Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, before Monday night, reports The Mirror.
Liverpool’s defense has been about as secure as an inflatable raft in a storm, having let in two goals per game in their opening matches. Konate’s unsteady displays against Bournemouth and Newcastle have left the alarms ringing louder than a snooze button at 5 a.m. Desperate for a quick fix, Liverpool hopes to sign Guehi, who has rebuffed a new deal at Palace, and get him at a bargain-basement price of $41 million. Meanwhile, at Anfield, fans are packing their nerves tighter than sardines in a tin as Konate has one last shot to redeem himself in the upcoming face-off with Arsenal.
