Another run? Liverpool s contract extension has not been responded to, and the contract has been locked by Real Madrid for only one year left

On May 16, Real Madrid reporter José Félix Díaz, Spain's Le Marca, wrote an article about the situation of Real Madrid and Liverpool central defender Conat. According to him, the French international centre-back still has not responded to Liverpool's proposal for a contract extension. And the latter is worried that he will join Real Madrid as freely as Arnold.

25-year-old Connert is Liverpool's main central defender. So far this season, he has played for Liverpool in 40 games in various games, including 1 goal and 2 assists in 29 Premier League games, and can contribute 1.31 steals, 0.41 interceptions and 4.10 clearances per game, sending 1,773 passes and 10 key passes, with a passing success rate of 90%.

As a central defender, Conat has a height of 1.94 meters and strong physical ability to fight against each other, and his individual defending ability is good. In addition, his foot skills and speed are also quite good, and he is a very comprehensive central defender. Since joining Liverpool for 40 million euros in July 2021, Connate has played in a total of 130 games for the team, earning 5 goals and 4 assists, and has won 5 championship trophys including 1 Premier League, 1 FA Cup, 1 Community Shield and 2 League Cups. And in the French national team, he is also the undisputed core player in the defense.

When joining in the summer of 2021, Conate signed a five-year contract. Now, there is only one year left before his contract expires. With the strength of the French central defender, it is normal to be favored by Real Madrid, and other giant teams are also eyeing it. What upsets Liverpool is that they have tried to communicate with Connate on renewal issues many times, but none of them have received a response. With Arnold already confirmed to join Real Madrid by free agents, Liverpool is worried that the same thing will happen to Conat. And this is by no means an undoubted worry.

In recent seasons, visa-free seems to have become a common method for giant clubs. They often use their background and record to create a fatal appeal to players and encourage them to vote freely after the contract expires. Real Madrid has even used this method of recruitment to the point of perfection. From the Arabians and Rudiger to the current Alexander Arnolds. And Konath is likely their next target. The key is that Liverpool doesn't seem to have any good countermeasures for this.
