Wolfsburg centre-back Konstantinos Koulierakis is attracting strong interest ahead of the upcoming transfer windows, with both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur keeping close tabs on his situation.
The 21-year-old has impressed in the Bundesliga and is viewed as one of Europe’s most promising young defenders, boasting the physical presence and technical quality needed to thrive in the Premier League.
Liverpool are in the market for a new central defender, especially with Ibrahima Konaté expected to depart next summer. His contract runs until 2026, but he has yet to agree to an extension. Tottenham, meanwhile, are looking to strengthen their defensive depth as they continue building under Ange Postecoglou.
According to former Everton CEO Keith Wyness, Spurs may have the edge in the race. Speaking to Football Insider, he revealed that Liverpool are tracking several defensive targets, but he believes Koulierakis could be leaning toward North London.
Wyness said:
“There are five or six centre-backs Liverpool are considering, and he’s just one name on that list. But I’m not convinced he ends up at Anfield. Spurs are firmly in the mix, and with Micky van de Ven already performing at an elite level, they may be the ones pushing harder. Koulierakis is one of the best young defenders around, and interest in him will be huge — but from what I’m hearing, Spurs might be in front.”
Koulierakis represents a long-term investment for any club that signs him, and he has the potential to grow into a major figure in the heart of defence. Both Liverpool and Tottenham offer the competitive platforms and trophy ambitions a player of his calibre will be seeking.
