First Arnold and Now Him, Panic in Liverpool over Florentino's Future Transfer

It's no secret that Real Madrid is highly interested in Trent Alexander-Arnold. The right winger, after an entire career at Liverpool, is ready to take the next step in his career. However, recently, Liverpool has started to worry about the fate of another one of its stars.

Ibrahima Konaté is the star who has started to catch Florentino Pérez's attention. With a contract that ends in 2026, the president has begun planning his transfer. Known for transfering great stars without spending a euro,  Madrid's president has the same intentions with the Frenchman.

Additionally, his incorporation would be a great reinforcement for the affected Madrid defense. Suffering several injuries this season, Konaté's arrival could alleviate this situation. With unparalleled quality and still being young, Liverpool fears losing the Frenchman as well.

Real Madrid's other target

At 25 years old, Konaté has managed to establish himself within Liverpool's squad. Under Arne Slot's orders, the Frenchman has been crucial for the club's great moment this season. Even so, despite his importance, his future within the 'reds'  is far from being secured due to his contract that is close to ending.

The upcoming end of his contract has made him a solid option for Real Madrid to strengthen its defense. Demonstrating his eternal patience, Florentino Pérez has decided to wait the necessary time to carry out his transfer.

This, while it has worked for him in the past, could be taken advantage of by Liverpool in the coming months. Aware of Konaté's importance to the team, the British squad has started working on renewing their center-back's contract.

Determining the destination

With Real Madrid and Liverpool working on Konaté, several doubts have arisen about his destination. Despite not knowing exactly which team he will end up being part of, the white club doesn't intend to miss the opportunity to sign Konaté.
