Real Madrid have reportedly sent shockwaves through Anfield after opening direct lines with Ibrahima Konate over a blockbuster move to the Bernabeu. The 26-year-old has become one of the Premier League’s most dependable centre-backs at Merseyside, but his future now hangs in the balance. Madrid’s interest comes at a critical moment as his contract with the Reds runs out at the end of this season, leaving the club at risk of losing him for nothing.
Real Madrid are not reportedly giving up on William Saliba as Los Blancos prepare a delegation to negotiate with Arsenal for the French defender. Xabi Alonso's focus has shifted as concerns grow over their current defensive depth, following a troubling display against Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey during the Club World Cup.
Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has reportedly rejected a lucrative proposal from the Saudi Pro League, reaffirming his intention to continue his career in European football. The 26-year-old centre-back remains focused on playing at the highest level, which he believes is only possible by staying in Europe as he wants to compete regularly in the UEFA Champions League.
Ibrahima Konate, into the final year of his contract, has already told Liverpool that he is open to a departure this summer, so long as Real Madrid sign him.
Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has decided on his next destination if contract talks with the Reds do no porgress in the next one year. The French defender has entered the final 12 months of his deal and negotiation over a possible extension has currently stalled. Konate could follow in the footsteps of Trent Alexander-Arnold and move to Madrid for free next summer.
