Mbappé 'pressures' Konaté to sign with Real Madrid now: 'He calls me...'

Mbappé doesn't want Konaté to slip away, and the pressure he puts on the center-back is relentless

Among the names being mentioned as potential major signings for the club next season is Konaté. This Liverpool footballer seems to have everything lined up to become the new center back for the Merengue side and is even under pressure. Mbappé has been persistent in insisting that he's coming to the Merengue side, where the player says he calls him every two hours.

Obviously, all of this is meant ironically and with a bit of humor, but it is not at all far-fetched considering the importance he could have at the club. Mbappé was once pressured by players like Vinícius, and now he's doing his part with the Red defender. This player could add a lot to a defense that has looked much more solid this season.

He calls him constantly

Mbappé has seen what it's like to be part of the Merengue team and has definitely been delighted by the badge and the jersey of the greatest in the world. This is exactly what he wants to share with one of his teammates and fellow countryman in what would be a top-level signing.

Mbappé is pushing to convince Konaté | Real Madrid Confidencial

This player arrived at Liverpool in 2021 from Germany, where he was a true star and a promising defender. Since then, he has become a key piece for the coaches who have managed the English club. Last season was a true delight defensively, as he was one of the best in the entire Premier League.

If Mbappé is convinced that this player can make a difference by joining the White team next season, then we should also trust his judgment. Furthermore, Florentino Pérez seems to have everything lined up for him to arrive completely free when his contract ends in 2026. This would once again represent a completely free addition for the club of a player who promises to be world-class almost immediately.

We have to wait one year

With all the pressure on him and a hugely important decision to make for 2026, we just have to wait one year until the next summer transfer window. For now, he will have to wait to be part of the best team in the world and give his all on the field with Liverpool. However, he must take care to avoid injuries, as he will not want to ruin the chance to join the Merengue side.
