Ibrahima Konate, the towering Liverpool defender, has caught the attention of Real Madrid as they look to bolster their backline.
The Spanish giants, already keen on Reds fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold, now have their sights set on another Anfield star. According to El Chiringuito’s Edu Aguirre, Konate is firmly on Real Madrid’s wishlist as his contract nears its final 18 months.
The Frenchman has delayed talks over a new deal until the summer, sparking speculation about his future.
PSG are also in the mix, eager to bring the France international back to his homeland. Konate’s journey at Liverpool began with a strong Premier League debut on September 18, 2021, partnering Virgil van Dijk in a 3–0 win over Crystal Palace, keeping a clean sheet.
He etched his name in Reds history on April 5, 2022, nodding in his first goal for the club during a 3–1 Champions League victory against Benfica.
A vital cog in Liverpool’s lineup this season, Konate’s suitors are ready to pounce if his Anfield stay falters.
