Even though we are entering the final stretch of the season, Real Madrid are already planning for the next one. However, this is not happening only in Valdebebas, as the same is true for other major clubs.

As far as Real Madrid is concerned, the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold seems to be practically closed. Nevertheless, there could be a surprise in the operation, as it is also considered to include Ibrahima Konaté, Liverpool's defender. The club needs to strengthen the defense, and the option of the French defender would be a perfect fit.

Ibrahima Konaté, who maintains a good relationship with Kylian Mbappé, is one of the last options being considered by the club's management. The arrival of the Frenchman would provide greater defensive solidity and prevent problems in case of injuries to any of the current players.

Recently, Real Madrid's defense has been one of the most affected areas in the team's tactical scheme. The absences of David Alaba and Eder Militão forced Carlo Ancelotti to make improvised adjustments on several occasions.

To prevent this situation from repeating next season, the signing of Ibrahima Konaté could be crucial. Additionally, Carlo Ancelotti would have more options to choose from and could ensure greater solidity in the defensive line.

However, Real Madrid are not the only ones interested in Liverpool's current defender. According to 'El Gol Digital', Paris Saint-Germain, chaired by Al-Khelaifi, is also planning to sign the Frenchman.

Luis Enrique wants to have the defender for the next season. He fits into his ambitious project and brings the youth that the Asturian coach is asking for in Paris.

Meanwhile, Liverpool, the 'red' team has not made a definitive decision about Ibrahima Konaté's future. Everything points to the defender's renewal being a priority at Anfield, but we must stay alert. If the Frenchman doesn't extend his contract, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain will be on the lookout to sign the center-back.
