Liverpool summer transfer gist don hot again, as reports dey talk say Marc Guehi heart no dey for Anfield – na Real Madrid he wan go join next summer. To add salt for injury, Real dey also eye Ibrahima Konate, wey contract go expire soon.
The Reds just beat Everton 2-1 for Merseyside derby, thanks to new boy Hugo Ekitike wey score winning goal. Manager Arne Slot don already flex cash sign big names like Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak wey both cost over £100m each. But defensive side still dey shaky, especially as Guehi move flop last summer.
Liverpool Defensive Crisis Dey Loom
Slot dey face big wahala if Madrid carry both Guehi and Konate run. Konate contract go end next summer, and talk of new deal no dey strong.
If he waka, Liverpool go remain with just Virgil van Dijk (wey don dey 34) and injury-prone Joe Gomez as senior defenders. Gomez sef don dey linked with moves away, so e fit be last days for him too.
New teenage signing Giovanni Leoni dey around, but at just 18, he go need time before he fit become first-choice. Slot no fit risk rush am into heavy EPL and Champions League fixtures.
Should Liverpool Chase Guehi Again?
Snatching Guehi go give Liverpool backline fresh Premier League experience, but truth be say beating Real Madrid for transfer race dey always hard.
Los Blancos don already snatch Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool, and if Konate follow join, e go look like Madrid dey dominate dem both on and off pitch.
If Slot somehow convince Guehi, e no just be tactical boost – e go also be psychological victory for the club. But right now, the vibe dey show say Madrid dey one step ahead.
Na So E Be
Liverpool don strengthen attack and midfield, but defence dey look fragile like glass. If Real Madrid succeed carry both Guehi and Konate, Slot go dey forced to rebuild from scratch. For Premier League wey na fine margins dey decide title, weak backline fit scatter all the hard work upfront.
