Konaté’s Future: Liverpool or Real Madrid?

The football world is buzzing as Ibrahima Konaté’s contract talks with Liverpool stall, with no renewal in sight.

The 26-year-old French centre-back, whose deal ends in 2026, has rejected initial offers, sparking fears of a free transfer to Real Madrid next summer, following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s move. Consequently, Liverpool face a tough choice: sell now or lose their defensive rock for nothing.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid, fresh off signing Alexander-Arnold, are ready to bolster their backline with Konaté’s commanding presence. Spanish outlet MARCA reports that Konaté favors the Bernabeu, and Xabi Alonso sees him as the fix for a shaky defense exposed at the Club World Cup. If Liverpool opt for a sale this summer, a late swoop could be made by Real, possibly grabbing the ex-RB Leipzig star for €50 million. Thus, fans anxiously await whether Konaté stays a Red or joins Madrid’s glitz.
