Liverpool Eye Rising Greek Star as Potential Konaté Successor 🔥
Anfield could be preparing for a defensive shake-up, as reports suggest Liverpool have set their sights on Konstantinos Koulierakis, one of the Bundesliga’s standout young defenders this season. 👀
The 21-year-old Greek centre-back, currently shining for Wolfsburg, has become one of Europe’s hottest prospects — admired for his sharp reading of the game, aerial dominance, and composure on the ball. Since joining from PAOK Thessaloniki, he’s quickly become a cornerstone in Wolfsburg’s backline, with 11 impressive appearances already to his name this season.
Sources indicate that Liverpool scouts have been following Koulierakis closely, viewing him as a potential long-term replacement for Ibrahima Konaté, whose future at Anfield appears uncertain amid rumors of a possible move to Bayern Munich next year.
Liverpool aren’t alone in the chase — Tottenham Hotspur are also monitoring the young defender as they look to strengthen their defensive depth behind Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven. Meanwhile, Inter Milan and Juventus have both expressed interest, seeing him as a solution for their aging backlines.
Despite growing attention, Wolfsburg remain hesitant to sell mid-season, but insiders believe an offer of around €35–40 million could force them to reconsider.
With Europe’s elite now circling, Koulierakis’s next move could spark one of the most intriguing transfer battles of 2026. ⚽💥
Would Liverpool really let Konaté go — and trust a 21-year-old Greek sensation to fill his boots? Only time will tell… ⏳
