PSG and Bayern, 2 tough rivals to close Florentino and Xabi Alonso's most desired signing

This potential Real Madrid signing is set to be very important, but PSG and Bayern have it in their sights

The Merengue side, as expected, has several clear objectives to strengthen its squad for the next season. With Xabi Alonso's arrival, major changes are expected to avoid what happened last season. In this regard, the White side has set its sights on signing a high-profile player to balance out the team's weaknesses.

The target is Liverpool's young Frenchman, Ibrahima Konaté, a player the club has had its eye on for several months of observation. In this sense, it seems to be one of the signings Real Madrid most desires to complete. However, the presence of clubs like Bayern and PSG changes the dynamics of the signing significantly.

Competition for this kind of player is something that can be seen constantly, especially among Europe's giants. However, getting into a bidding war for these signings with teams like PSG could be counterproductive.

The signing in dispute

It's no surprise that this player is on the radar of several top teams in the world and, certainly, for good reason. His performances under Arne Slot have been outstanding, and that's why he's in the orbit of two elite clubs.

Moreover, even in Arab soccer, he's being considered as a reinforcement for Al Hilal, which is currently playing in the Club World Cup. This excessive financial competition puts the Chamartín side in a very disadvantageous position. However, history is a completely different matter, and there, not even Bayern competes at the same level.

Everything open

For now, it seems that everything could fall into the hands of the French player, who must evaluate the interest from all the teams. With this in mind, it's clear that the player will make the decision that best suits his interests.

What is clear is that Madrid will wait and look for a way to convince him that the best place is with them. This is an opportunity for Florentino to work his transfer market magic once again.
