Liverpool sets a price for Konaté and he's worth it, Florentino ready to pay it

Dean Huijsen is proving to be one of the best signings Real Madrid has made in recent seasons. At just 20 years old, the center-back has adapted perfectly to Xabi Alonso's system. The backline, once again, has regained a certain solidity that it could fully recover through the signing of Ibrahima Konaté.

The French center-back has been one of Real Madrid's main targets for months. While the initial plan was to wait until the end of his contract, which is next summer, this has changed. Fearing a repeat of what happened with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool has shown willingness to allow Konaté to leave this summer.

£50 million is the amount the current Premier League champion is willing to accept to part ways with its player. This is an affordable price for Real Madrid, with Florentino Pérez preparing an offer to make this important transfer happen.

A golden opportunity

Real Madrid suffered all season from a backline that was affected by injuries. Militao was one of the most significant and lengthy absences, with the Brazilian missing the entire campaign. Faced with the need to rejuvenate its backline, Konaté is the player needed in a squad that has added many talents this summer.

At 26 years old, Ibrahima Konaté is one of the most solid center-backs in the entire Premier League. The partnership he has formed alongside Virgil van Dijk has brought Liverpool many successes, with the Premier League title being the most recent achievement.

Despite Liverpool's constant contract renewal offers, Konaté has rejected each and every one of them. The interest the team has shown in Marc Guéhi has made it clear that, for next season, Konaté will no longer be a "Red" player.

Real Madrid's plan

Before tackling this important operation, Real Madrid will keep its full attention on the Club World Cup. This tournament could provide the club with enough money to cover, without any problem, the signing of Ibrahima Konaté.
