Real Madrid Confidencial Konaté, tempted by an offer from PSG that changes everything: Real Madrid warned
Luis Enrique's team continues to strengthen its squad and wants to try to take advantage of the opportunity presented by the French defender
Ibrahima Konaté's future is starting to generate tension in Europe. The French center-back, who is 26 years old, is on the radar of two giants: Real Madrid and PSG. Both clubs are closely monitoring his contract situation and hope to sign him for free next summer.
In Liverpool, Konaté's situation is becoming complicated. The English club plans to strengthen its defense with two young center-backs: Marc Guéhi and Giovanni Leoni.
This possible double signing opens the door to a departure for the Frenchman. His contract ends next season, and Real Madrid is watching closely.
Although Liverpool wants to keep him, the pressure from Europe's top clubs is clear. PSG has already shown real interest. Its offer could completely change the plans of the defender and Madrid itself.
Madrid and PSG, watch out for Konaté
In Concha Espina, they see Konaté's arrival as a strategic move. The white club doesn't want to spend exorbitant amounts. Its intention is to wait until he is a free agent and, if necessary, make a move this summer with a moderate offer, between €20 and €25 million.
"Ibou," as he is called by those close to him, has already shown a willingness to wear white and wants to try his luck in LaLiga. However, Liverpool won't make it easy for him. The English board intends to extend his contract to avoid losing him without compensation.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, is still evaluating its defense. Militao and Alaba have yet to prove their level after major injuries. Huijsen, Asencio, and Rüdiger offer some stability, but Konaté's arrival would be a top-level reinforcement.
A future hanging in the air
PSG appears as a rival that could change everything. An attractive offer from the French club could bring forward his departure from Liverpool. If that happens, Real Madrid would have to react quickly to secure the player.
For now, next summer seems like the ideal window for the signing. Everything will depend on how Liverpool and PSG move in the coming months. Konaté remains one of the most sought-after center-backs in Europe, and his decision will mark a turning point in the defensive planning of several clubs.
