Liverpool are still considering strengthening the defense, and they are worried about losing Connaet this summer, who is already in contract year and has attracted strong interest from Real Madrid, while new contract negotiations have not yet made progress.
Liverpool hopes to avoid repeating the same situation as Salah, Van Dijk and Arnold last season, and they have made plans to sign a new central defender this summer if the right opportunity arises.
Although their primary goal at the centre-back position is Crystal Palace star Gee, the deal may be expensive, and although its contract will expire next summer, Crystal Palace is still reluctant to let their captain go at the price cut.
If Liverpool cannot reach an agreement with Crystal Palace, Consa will become their Plan B. Liverpool believes Consa's transfer fee may be lower and he is also open to the transfer after Villa missed the Champions League qualification.
The final decision has not been made regarding who Liverpool will eventually pursue, and even whether Connate will leave this summer, but Consa is the signing candidate for Liverpool's senior management and will be closely watched in the coming weeks.
