Real Madrid Confidencial Konaté has already informed Real Madrid of his wish: he wants to go to Bernabéu
How close Real Madrid is to being able to sign Ibrahima Konaté after the recent message from the center-back
These last few weeks of the summer transfer window will be very intense for Real Madrid due to its interest in signing Konaté. Although Liverpool has been reluctant to let the center-back leave, the Frenchman has expressed his strong desire to the club. According to what we know at Defensa Central, Konaté has informed Real Madrid that he won't renew his contract.
This leaves Liverpool with few options regarding its plans to try to prevent the Frenchman's departure. While Real Madrid has no problem waiting until next summer to sign Konaté as a free agent, this signing could be accelerated. This is because, after suffering Trent's departure, Liverpool isn't interested in going through the same situation again.
This summer transfer window could see Konaté arrive at Real Madrid. A deal that looks more affordable after Liverpool's recent signings. With the transfer of the young Italian Giovanni Leoni, the English club is preparing for Konaté's departure.
A sure signing
After several weeks of speculation and rumors, Konaté has finally made the decision to leave Liverpool. Arriving during the summer of 2021, the Frenchman has been essential to the club's recent successes. Just last season, Konaté played 3,372 minutes (3,372 minutes), being a pillar in defense alongside Virgil Van Dijk.
Although Liverpool has presented him with several contract renewal offers, Konaté has rejected all of them. Faced with this, the club could be forced to sell the center-back this very summer to obtain some income. Konaté's current value, according to Transfermarkt, is 60 million euros.
However, Real Madrid isn't willing to pay this amount for the experienced center-back. With everything against it, Liverpool will have to accept the offer that the club presents. One that, for now, still hasn't been made by Real Madrid.
The new center-back
Although Dean Huijsen will be an undisputed starter, Real Madrid was aware of the need for a more veteran partner for the Spaniard. Konaté is exactly what the club needs, being a center-back with extensive experience but still young at 26 years old.
