Didac Aguirre José Félix Díaz announces it: The shadow of suspicion hangs over Konaté
The major revelation about Ibrahima Konaté's signing made by José Félix Díaz
It's no secret that one of Real Madrid's main interests to strengthen its backline is Ibrahima Konaté. Despite the contract renewal offers Liverpool has presented him, the center-back has rejected all of them. According to information from José Félix Díaz, this is because Real Madrid has finalized the signing of Konaté as a free agent.
With his contract ending next summer, Real Madrid has seen Konaté as a great option to bolster its defense. His 26 years of age give him experience that is highly valued by the club. In addition, his signing would be a great help for Dean Huijsen, who is only 20 years old, to polish several of his skills.
According to what we know at Defensa Central, Real Madrid considered signing Konaté this summer. An alternative that was ruled out after learning the price Liverpool was asking for. 50 million euros for a center-back who will be a free agent in a year would not be a very sensible signing.
Everything ready with Konaté
Since 2021, Ibrahima Konaté has focused on being one of Liverpool's best players. Coming from Leipzig, the center-back arrived under the orders of Jürgen Klopp, a coach who managed to unlock his potential. The 3,372 minutes of playing time he had last season were enough to show his value once again.
While the project with Arne Slot is exciting, Konaté has already made his decision. His rejections of Liverpool's contract renewal offers show his desire to leave. The revelation from José Félix Díaz only confirms the Frenchman's destination for next summer.
Real Madrid, once again, will manage to sign a star without paying a single euro. Despite the other interests the club has, the Frenchman is one of the priorities. His transfer would help the club finally achieve its goal of renewing the backline.
Waiting for 2026
Although everything points to Konaté becoming a new Real Madrid player, Liverpool is a club that doesn't give up so easily. Having to wait until next summer gives the English club time to present increasingly important contract renewal offers.
