Arsenal Prepares Bid for Konsa, Liverpool Could Join the Race

Arsenal continues to be active in the transfer market. According to the “Daily Mail,” the London club is preparing a second bid for Aston Villa's English international Ezri Konsa. Their initial offer, made during the World Cup, was reportedly around €35 million, significantly less than the €60 million minimum sought by the Birmingham side.

Arsenal's sporting director, Andre Berta, is looking to bolster the central defense due to William Saliba's injury. Saliba is expected to be sidelined for several months following an injury sustained during the 2026 World Cup.

“The Guardian” adds that Liverpool might also enter the race for Konsa. The Merseyside club is also keen on acquiring another defender who can operate not only as a central defender but also as a right-back. The English international fits this profile perfectly.

Konsa has two years remaining on his contract with Aston Villa, but the Birmingham club is attempting to persuade him to sign a new deal this summer.
