Mirror: Konath rejects Saudi Arabia s high-paying invitation, he may be waiting for the winter window to negotiate with Real Madrid

July 16th News The Mirror reported that Liverpool defender Conat refused the invitation from the Saudi league and insisted on staying in Europe.

French international central defender Conat rejected a generous offer from the Saudi professional league, insisting that he hopes to continue playing in Europe. The 26-year-old has entered his final year in Anfield's contract, and the two sides have not reached an agreement on renewal.

In recent months, Liverpool's negotiations with Connate have reached a deadlock. It is rumored that Real Madrid intends to sign up for Connaught without a visa in January next year, after they just introduced Arnold from Liverpool. However, an unnamed Saudi club has expressed interest in him through Konath's agent over the past week, but Konath rejected the negotiation opportunity and made it clear that he would like to stay in Europe and participate in the highest level of competition.

If Konath shows any interest in the transfer to Saudi Arabia, the Saudi club will immediately start negotiations with Liverpool. Despite this, Liverpool still hopes to resolve Conat's contract issue, but there are signs that Conat may be waiting for a chance to join Real Madrid, and he will start free negotiations with Real Madrid in January next year.

Liverpool sold Kanssa to Leverkusen this summer for £35m, so they were a little weak in the centre-back position. Robertson also served as the left central defender in a friendly match against Preston. Crystal Palace's Guy and Ajax's Dutch U21 international Jorell Harto and others are on Liverpool's signing list. As for whether Liverpool will consider selling Connaet this summer, it remains to be seen, as no official offer has been received yet.

Currently, Liverpool seems to be more focused on signing a top striker, who has asked Newcastle about Alexander Isaac. Although Newcastle is reluctant to let go, if the negotiations fail, Liverpool may turn to Frankfurt's Ekitic. Newcastle has already made an offer for Ekitic for up to £69 million (including additional terms) but has been rejected.

At the same time, Liverpool also rejected Bayern Munich's initial offer to Dias, with a total amount of £58.6 million. Although Diaz is open to the transfer, Liverpool believes that Bayern's offer is much lower than the market value. Naples is also pursuing Nunes and there are new interests in the Middle East, but the Italian team is not close to Liverpool's asking price yet.
