According to reporters from camel.live, Ibrahima Konaté has agreed to join Real Madrid and is eager to wear the Real Madrid jersey.
Currently in Liverpool’s squad, Konaté is facing increasingly fierce competition for his position. The Reds have planned to sign center-backs Marc Guehi and Léo Lacroix, a move that has sparked widespread speculation about Konaté’s future.
Reports indicate that the French center-back’s contract expires next year, and various signs suggest his future is increasingly tilting toward Real Madrid.
Although Liverpool are willing to renew Konaté’s contract, Real Madrid have already intervened. In fact, not only Real Madrid but also Paris Saint-Germain have included him in their summer 2025 transfer list, with both clubs potentially signing him on a free transfer at that time.
In Real Madrid’s squad, the form of Éder Militão and David Alaba remains uncertain following multiple serious injuries. For now, the positions of Antonio Rüdiger, Dani Carvajal, and Rodrygo at the Bernabéu appear stable.
Even so, Real Madrid are still not satisfied and hope to sign Konaté on a free transfer next summer. However, considering Guehi and Lacroix’s potential arrival at Liverpool, the possibility of Real Madrid making an offer in the final moments of this summer’s transfer window is increasing, though the offer will not exceed €25 million (ranging from €20 million to €25 million).
It is claimed that despite Liverpool’s attempts to block the move, Konaté has given Real Madrid the green light—he is eager to wear the Real Madrid jersey either this summer or next.
Currently, Liverpool’s management plans to renew Konaté’s contract, as they neither want to sell him at a low price this summer nor let him leave for free next year.
Meanwhile, Arne Slot will welcome new center-backs Guehi and Lacroix, meaning Liverpool have already found replacements for Konaté.
