Real can be left without Konat, English giant offers 50m euros for it

Chelsea has submitted an offer to sign with Liverpool's protector, Ibrahima Konate, following the serious damage Levi Colwill suffered, according to reports.

The treaty, which is entering the last year of its contract with Liverpool, has been the center of speculation throughout the summer. His future remains unclear amid the interest of several big clubs.

Real Madrid has also been linked to the Frenchman, with reports that they can wait until the contract is expired for free, as was the case with Trent Alexander-Arnold earlier this year.

Liverpool, meanwhile, is looking into new protective options, such as Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace and Giovanni Leon of Parma, following the departure of Yarell Qwansah towards Bayer Leverkusen.

According to Defensa Central, Chelsea has made an offer of 50m euros (43m pounds) for Konate, with the long-term absence of Colwill mentioned as the main reason for the move.

This step is seen as an unexpected “information of” for Real Madrid, as the amount offered by Chelsea corresponds to Liverpool's request, although the “The Reds” does not want to strengthen a direct rival of Premier League.

It is reported that the Conate tends more towards a transfer to Real Madrid, but if Chelsea increases the offer, it may increase the chances of securing it before the end of the pass-by deadline.
