Liverpool Could Kill Two Birds with One Stone by 'Taking' a Player from Real Madrid

The Young Star Real Madrid Could Lose to Liverpool's Plan

Contrary to the winter market, where Real Madrid didn't make any moves, the summer market will be different. With the clear objective of strengthening their squad, the club has several targets in sight. However, as has become customary, the team has encountered a rival that threatens to ruin all their plans.

The rival in this case is Liverpool, which has shown a strong interest in signing Dean Huijsen. The young Spanish center-back is having a dream season with Bournemouth, being one of the revelations of the Premier League. Given the explosion of his talent, the team led by Arne Slot intends to pair him with Ibrahima Konaté.

This makes it clear that Liverpool has the clear intention of frustrating two of the most important operations for Real Madrid. With the deals for Dean and Konaté in jeopardy, the Merengue defense might not be renewed in the way the team desired.

Problems for the Defense

This season hasn't been very kind to Real Madrid in terms of injuries. Suffering the loss of several important players, the defense was the area most affected by this. Losing stars like Militão and Carvajal, the Merengue team realized the need to renew the defense as soon as possible.

This led them to generate interest in Dean Huijsen and Ibrahima Konaté, a more than promising duo for the future. The Bournemouth center-back, at 19 years old, is poised to be one of the best in his position in a few seasons.

Meanwhile, the French defender has a contract with Liverpool that ends in the summer of 2026. With both operations being planned for next summer, the 'Red' team's plans could seriously frustrate Real Madrid.

The Fight for a Better Defense

Knowing they can't continue another season with the same defense, Real Madrid is focused on renewing their defense. Even with Liverpool's intentions, the Merengue team is willing to fight until the end to have the best defense in the world.
