Real Madrid Confidencial The price Real Madrid would pay for Konaté's signing: not a single euro more
This is the player to sign for the Merengue defense, but not just any price will be paid
The center-back position has clearly been one of the biggest disadvantages that the white team has had this past season. In addition, in the Club World Cup, even those who were considered untouchable have seen their exposure significantly diminished. Now, the Merengue board would be more than willing to put between €20 and €25 million ($21.8M and $27.2M) on the table for Ibrahima Konaté.
Liverpool's center-back now appears to be on Real Madrid's list of possible signings. While the option of bringing him in was expected for 2026, now, with these defensive shortcomings, it is a necessity.
This amount is due to the fact that, despite his market value, he only has one year left on his contract and, as a result, could leave for a very affordable price. However, they will not go beyond this figure, so they will have to find a way to negotiate as best as possible.
They're going for Liverpool's center-back
This player has already been linked to Real Madrid for some time due to his abilities and, above all, his defensive strength. In addition, he also has certain characteristics that Alonso could take full advantage of.
With this in mind, it is certain that this player could be the defensive addition they have been waiting for. Meanwhile, both because of his age and the squad needs that the white team has, he seems to be the ideal signing.
At 26 years old, and having played in leagues such as the German and now the English, he could arrive with a great deal of experience. However, he might not be the last addition of the summer, although that's a different story. For now, the board and the coach agree that they must strengthen the defense at all costs.
Florentino moves everything
As expected, the Merengue president has everything needed to secure the services of this player, and he will do so in this way, under his own terms. However, Liverpool has the final say, as he is a footballer whose rights they fully own, unless the player wants to leave.
