Didac Aguirre Goodbye to Real Madrid: offer accepted and he'll sign with Liverpool in the next few hours
The talented center-back who is close to signing for Liverpool despite interest from Real Madrid
Strengthening the defense remains one of Real Madrid's priorities for this and future transfer windows. While Dean Huijsen has been a complete success, the club showed interest in one of the best center-backs in the Premier League, Marc Guéhi. However, according to information from Fabrizio Romano, the center-back will sign for Liverpool very soon.
The English side has managed to reach an agreement with the Crystal Palace center-back, a club with which it is currently negotiating. Because of this, Real Madrid has lost one of the most interesting options it had in the market. As an experienced and very talented center-back, Guéhi had everything needed to succeed at Real Madrid.
Even so, the Englishman preferred to stay in the Premier League with the current champion of the competition. Despite this, Real Madrid still has some options to strengthen its defense. Ibrahima Konaté, for example, has made it clear that he is looking to leave Liverpool this or next summer.
The signing that won't happen
Trained in Chelsea's youth academy, Marc Guéhi went through the London club and Swansea City before arriving at Crystal Palace. Signed in 2021, Guéhi is currently one of the most important players on the team. Such is his relevance that the center-back is captain of a club that has managed to win 2 major titles in recent months.
The FA Cup and the Community Shield were won, in large part, thanks to Guéhi's excellent level. The 4,299 min. (3,931 min.) he played last season show the consistency he brings to the team. At 25 years old, Guéhi has the profile that Real Madrid has long sought for its defense.
Additionally, being in the final season of his contract, Real Madrid saw the opportunity to sign Guéhi for an affordable price. Unfortunately, Liverpool has left the white club with fewer options. Konaté, who is in a similar situation to Guéhi, could end up joining Real Madrid after this.
The center-back Real Madrid needs
Despite this situation, Real Madrid can still secure the services of Ibrahima Konaté. The constant rejections of renewal offers show the Frenchman's determination to leave. Liverpool, with Trent's departure still fresh in its memory, doesn't want to go through a similar situation.
