Either accept or leave: Liverpool ultimatum Real Madrid s favorite goal

The future of Liverpool defender Connaet remains a mystery to this day. The Frenchman has been closely linked to Real Madrid. The La Liga giants are open to signing him this summer, but they hope to use his contract expiration next summer to be free of visa.

However, like Arnold, Liverpool insists on keeping Connate and hopes to lock him up with a long-term contract. The French defender's existing contract expires in 2026, meaning he can become a free agent next summer.

According to Le Marca, Liverpool's board of directors will provide Conate with a renewal offer in the coming days and issue an ultimatum: If the 25-year-old French international refuses to accept it again, the defending Premier League champion will consider putting it into the transfer market to avoid losing him for free next summer.

It is reported that Liverpool's urgency stems from Anfield's top leaders' belief that Connate has had contact with Real Madrid in private and they do not want to lose him for free in 2026 like Arnold did this summer.

With Joe Gomez and Rees Williams suffering from consecutive injuries, and Connate's future is uncertain, Slott has few choices in the defense line, Liverpool is actively seeking reinforcement, and the transfer deals of Gerch and Leoni of Crystal Palace are basically close to completion.

As for Real Madrid, although the old ones on the defense are injured, they do not want to invest any expenses in the transfer market. The biggest possibility is to continue to use visa-free Dafa to Lure Conate next summer.
