Liverpool continues its movements in the summer transfer market to support its back line, and put his eye strongly on English defender Mark Joyi, the Crystal Palace player, amid a state of anticipation and ambiguity surrounding the future of the international player, especially in light of his unwillingness to extend his contract.
Intensive defensive movements
Despite the conclusion of several deals this summer, including Jeremy Frimbong and Florian Vertz from Bayer Leverkusen, Faridi Woodman, Hungarian goalkeeper Armin Beachy and Milos Kirkiz from Bournemouth, but the Liverpool administration believes that the support of the defensive line remains a priority, with the possibility of the departure of Abrahama Konati, who has not renewed his contract yet.
Player position and contract
Mark Joyahi, 24, does not seem enthusiastic to continue the ranks of Crystal Palace, where he expressed an implicit desire to leave, especially since his contract expires in the summer of 2026. Reports indicate that he is ready to complete his contract until the end if the two clubs did not reach a disease agreement during the current transfer period.
The obstacle of the required price
Crystal Palace set a sum of at least 50 million pounds to dispense with Joyhi, which was confirmed by club president Steve Parish, completely rejecting the idea of making any financial concessions in favor of Liverpool or others. This position makes it difficult for the Reds mission, who seek to reduce the cost under other priorities within the market.
Live numbers
Joyhi presented a good season with Crystal Palace, where he participated in 44 games in various competitions, during which he scored 3 goals and made two goals, which reflects his development at the defensive and offensive level, and makes him a legitimate goal for the aspiring teams to compete.
The future of Konati increases the pressure
Liverpool’s urgency is getting urgent for the completion of an atmosphere due to the ambiguity surrounding the future of the French Ibraima Contei, who has not received an official offer for renewal so far, amid speculation of his departure this summer, which makes the administration move quickly to ensure the appropriate alternative.
