Real Madrid has centered their transfer strategy to spend great on the best young talents in football and recruiting the best available free agents when it comes to more experienced players. Los Blancos is already trying to secure the signing of Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold, but there has now been a consistent series of reports that also connect them with another Liverpool defender.
Real Madrid was credited twice in 2025 with an interest in France International Ibrahima Konate. The 25-year-old will no longer be a contract in 2026 and the Reds will have to open contract discussions to keep Konate in Anfield later. Los Blancos is confronted with competition from the French giants Paris Saint-Germain for Konate's signature say DM (via Diario AS), who will also look at a move this summer.
These reports meet the information from the Spanish capital. Although they are strongly connected to a movement for a central defender since they miss Leny Yoro, it is assumed that the rise of Raul Asencio Real Madrid seduces to leave another season before they go to the transfer market to tackle their aging central defense. At that time, in 2026, Konate would be available for free if they convince him not to sign a new deal.
That is usually the modus operandi for Real Madrid, as is seen with people like Alexander-Arnold and one-off first choice combination David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger. In general it has also been a successful strategy, although they missed Alphonso Davies last month, because he signed a new deal with Bayern Munich despite a long -term chase of Real Madrid. At this stage, however, it would not be a surprise if the agents of Konate wanted to be interested in their client to be public knowledge if they want to get a better deal for Konate.
