José Félix Díaz announces it, Florentino has given the OK to the signing: 'The player is of interest'

Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold were the two signings Real Madrid made in recent weeks to improve its defense. However, the white team could go further in the future, since it has noted the name of another outstanding player.

According to the latest reports, Ibrahima Konaté, Liverpool's defender, has decided to leave Anfield after not accepting the latest contract renewal offer. From there, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid have shown great interest in the footballer's future, who would have to make a decision. Al-Hilal has also joined the race, although the Frenchman's intention is to remain in top-level soccer.

For a price that ranges around €40 million ($43.6 million), Liverpool would be willing to negotiate for Ibrahima Konaté. They want to avoid another departure like Trent Alexander-Arnold's, so they would choose to sell the player. All of this is with the intention of bringing in some money and not letting the player leave completely free of charge.

Ibrahima Konaté, the center-back Real Madrid likes

At 26 years old, Ibrahima Konaté is the perfect player for Real Madrid's defense. His performances alongside Virgil van Dijk have made Liverpool's defense one of the best in the world.

The Frenchman is the center-back who would add the experience Real Madrid needs, since he has delivered strong performances in the Premier League and the Champions League. Although Rüdiger, Alaba, and Éder Militao are still players on the team, their injuries and age are a problem that has been taken into account. The club would already be opting to replace one of the footballers mentioned.

José Félix Díaz confirms Real Madrid's interest

José Félix Díaz was asked in recent hours about the possible signing of Ibrahima Konaté.Rubén Martín, on his Twitch channel, highlighted the possible arrival of the Liverpool center-back to Real Madrid and the journalist's response was surprising. He also ruled out the arrival of William Saliba to the Madrid team.

"Forget about Saliba. Arsenal are asking for 100 'kilos' or they think they're going to ask for that. But Konaté is in a complicated situation", he commented.

"He has rejected Liverpool several times and I know Real Madrid are still concerned about the center-back issue. I didn't understand why Rüdiger started against Juventus, I'm telling you seriously. At Liverpool, they think an Alexander-Arnold situation could happen and he could be included in a deal", José Félix Díaz clarified.
