Le Parisien Reveals the Name of Madrid's First Summer Bombshell, It's a Center-Back

Real Madrid has very clear objectives for the summer, which explains the latest information that is being revealed.

The transfer market is closed, but all the big clubs in the Old Continent are planning for 2025-2026.

Carlo Ancelotti, who doesn't want to publicly discuss the future of his players, has already made it clear to Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez the needs of the squad.

Real Madrid's idea is to incorporate two full-backs, but also a center-back, which explains the latest information from "Le Parisien".

Center-Back in Sight

The white club knows it needs a defender, beyond the emergence of Raúl Asencio, since the rest of the players are an unknown.

Eder Militão is recovering from his second knee injury, while Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba are already over 30 years old.

"Le Parisien" has talked about Real Madrid's interest in Ibrahima Konaté, current Liverpool player whose contract with the Reds ends in 2026.

This is something the sports managers of the merengue team would seek to take advantage of, as he is a proven center-back with the ideal age to defend the Madrid colors.

Additionally, Konaté, who represents France, would arrive with the backing of Kylian Mbappé, who has given very good information to Calafat about the defender.

However, he, who hasn't closed the door to this possibility, prefers to focus on the end of the season and then make a definitive decision.

"It's clear that hearing that there are big clubs interested is flattering but, on a personal level, the most important thing is to focus on this season, try to win everything with Liverpool, which is going to be very complicated, very difficult. It requires a lot of work and concentration. As for my contractual situation, it's my advisors and agents who manage it," expressed the Liverpool center-back recently.

This makes it clear that the white club must move quickly, as the defender could lean toward Real Madrid in the summer.

The pressure is on the merengue team, as the need is great and Ibrahima Konaté will have plenty of offers.
