Copy Arnold! Real Madrid decided to sign another Liverpool defense superstar without signing!

Liverpool's defense defense Connaught's contract expires in June 2026. Rumor has it that he has rejected the new contract provided by Liverpool, and the renewal matters have stalled.

According to Marca, Connate has been listed by Real Madrid as the number one signing target in the summer window of 2026. Real Madrid decided to introduce Connate Connate as a sign-free option after his contract expires.

It is understood that Real Madrid has formulated a detailed plan to sign a high-level free agent in the summer window next year. This player must not be obstructed by his old club and be able to withstand the pressure of renewal from his old club.

In this target list, Conat was clearly marked as the top priority. Connat has strong physical confrontation ability, rich competition experience, and still has room for growth. Real Madrid hopes that Conat and Wyson, who just joined from Bournemouth this summer, will form a new generation of central defenders, and under the leadership of Alonso, the Galaxy battleship will set sail.

In addition to Conat, Real Madrid is also paying attention to other young players who may leave the team freely in 2026, with Valencia central defender Mosquera and Arsenal young full-back Skelly also on the shortlist.

In recent years, Real Madrid has used the expiration of player contracts and zero transfer fees to sign top stars several times. They have previously successfully won Rudiger (Chelsea), Mbappe (Paris), Alaba (Bayern) and Arnold (Liverpool). Especially on the defense line, signing-free high-quality players has become a major feature.

26-year-old Connert has been the pillar of Liverpool's defense for the past four years. Both former coach Klopp and current coach Slot rely heavily on him. Since joining from Leipzig in 2021, Connate has played 132 games for Liverpool and has won Premier League, FA Cup, Community Shield and two League Cup championships with the team.

Arnold's joining Real Madrid this summer has given Liverpool a loss of both people and money (received 10 million pounds of compensation), which has a very heavy blow to the team's structure. If Liverpool cannot convince Conate to renew his contract within the next year, they are likely to face the situation of losing their main players in vain again.

Finally, do you think Liverpool can successfully keep Konath?
