Real Madrid Confidencial He'll sign now or in 2026: Real Madrid has secured a top-level center-back
The Whites are still keeping an eye on this footballer: he could join the club as a free agent
Real Madrid have strengthened the defense with Dean Huijsen. The Spanish international has joined the white house and the impressions he's left are frankly good. He's only 20 years old and there are already those who think he could be a great leader.
The signs with him are unbeatable, but the sporting management is aware that sooner or later they'll have to sign another player for the defensive line. All of this is because Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba are over the age barrier of 30 and injuries are starting to become very frequent. Likewise, Militao's performance is an unknown, since he's suffered two serious knee injuries.
For this reason, the top executives of the club estimate that they're going to have to go to the market in 2026. A defender who's gaining ground to wear white is Ibrahima Konaté, who plays for Liverpool. His contract ends that year and according to various news outlets he'd be delighted to arrive at Bernabéu.
He'd make a move very similar to what Trent Alexander-Arnold has done in this transfer window. The Frenchman is only considering the possibility of joining the white house or renewing with the reds. At this time, he's not considering any other option.
Market opportunity
You all know that Florentino Pérez loves these kinds of situations in the transfer market. The president doesn't miss these opportunities and, moreover, Konaté would fit his policy. He's 26 years old and has a long career ahead of him.
Therefore, it'd be an ideal operation for the president. Juni Calafat and his team of scouts have been following him for quite some time and we'll have to see what ends up happening. The reports on the matter are positive, so if he doesn't renew, he'd arrive as a free agent.
Activity in the Bernabéu offices is completely paralyzed. The focus is on the Club World Cup, but once it's over, the market will once again take center stage. There's still summer ahead and some new developments can't be ruled out, whether in terms of arrivals or departures.
