There has already been some talk about Liverpool 💯potentially signing Dayot Upamecano of RB Leipzig.
The French central defender has been 💛mentꦫioned by a number of outlets () as a possible replacement for Virgil van Dijk.
The need for a marquee de🦂fensive additions appears to be even greater now,⭕ with Joe Gomez suffering a knee injury on England duty, is feared to be season-ending.
The full extent of the issue has not yet been 💟disclosed, but there are fears it is 💫serious.
Upamecano would ce🐓rtainly be a coup for the 🌊Reds, but whether it is feasible is another thing.
Th༺e player only signed a new in the summer, and the impressive 22-year-old mꦅight be too expensive.
It could therefore ꦰbe in Liverpool’s interests to target Upamecano’s teammate and fellow countryman Ibrahima Konate, who is supposedly on Arsenal’s radar and has a £44 million release clause ().
TBR’s View – An Upamecano alternative
Upamecano is the man to have grabbed headlines for Leipzig in recent times, but Konate 🌠is just as im🐼pressive if not more so in some fans’ eyes.
He has had his injury problems in recent times, , the 21-year-old can do it all and make it ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ꧅look ‘easy’ in the process.
“Whether it be in terms of positioning, sticking tight to the striker, intercepting passes, tackling or building fr༺om the back, Konate cannot just do it all, he makes it look easy,” they saꦏy.
The feature, written las♌t season, actually likens Konate to van D💖ijk which has got to make him worth a look for Liverpool, ith Upamecano likely to cost a fair bit more.
