Regarding Connate's question, there have been intensive media reports in recent days, and there is only one meaning. Connate wants to follow Arnold to join Real Madrid. After careful analysis, we found that the current Connate is indeed very similar to Arnold a year ago, but things are definitely not that simple.

The most reliable news at present is that Connate's contract renewal negotiations with Liverpool are at a deadlock. The player asked the club for a high-paying contract that was obviously inconsistent with his value, and refused the club's contract renewal offer twice. This situation is very similar to the previous process of Liverpool and Arnold's negotiation on contract renewal. The difference is that compared with Arnold's delay in expressing his opinion, Connat has already released the rumor of eagerness to join Real Madrid. This is a good thing for Liverpool.

Arnold joined Real Madrid without a signing fee, and the player received a large signing fee, which would inevitably make other players jealous. After all, no one can be unable to get along with the money. But as the saying goes, "A gentleman loves money and gets it well." Arnold's cases are among the few in the world football world, and there are only a few people going back and forth.

For Liverpool, Connate's current tactical role is very prominent, and Slot also trusts Connate, but Connate is obviously not strong enough yet. Connate is not Van Dijk, and Liverpool's new central defender partner Van Dijk may not be too bad in actual combat, which has been verified by Joe Gomez and Matipu before. Therefore, Liverpool is likely not to satisfy Conate's Lions' big talk in salary negotiations.

So the question is, can Connate successfully follow Arnold's sign-free joining Real Madrid? Personally, things are not that simple. At least from the current situation, the possibility of Conat joining Real Madrid without a visa is extremely low. The biggest problem for Arnold to leave the team without a sign-free is that he is the former Liverpool prince. As long as he does not make a public statement, the club will always be passive. Compared to Arnold, Liverpool can completely use a "simple and crude" method to deal with Konath's contract renewal.

Multiple media reported that Connat has only two options in the future, either renewing Liverpool with a high salary or transferring to Real Madrid. For Liverpool, the club's choice is also very simple. It will either renew its contract this summer or sell it directly. After Arnold suffered a big loss, it is almost impossible for Liverpool to repeat the same mistake again, because once Connate can leave the team without a sign, Liverpool's contract renewal problem may evolve into a disaster in the future.

Since joining Liverpool for 40 million euros in the summer of 2021, Connaut has played in a total of 132 games for Liverpool, contributing 5 goals and 4 assists, and has won a Premier League championship, a FA Cup championship, two League Cup championships and a Community Shield Cup championship with the team. Currently, the turnover of Konath is as high as 60 million euros.

For Liverpool, Connaet is by no means irreplaceable. Once the renewal negotiations fail, the club can sell it at any time and introduce new central defenders in the transfer market. Connate is not Arnold, and it is almost impossible for him to join Real Madrid without a sign-free!
