Real Madrid rubs its hands together, the signing before the transfer window closes

The major signing from the Premier League that Real Madrid could achieve this transfer window

Franco Mastantuono is now, in a completely official manner, a Real Madrid player. Although the young talent greatly strengthens the attack, the club remains focused on reinforcing its backline with Ibrahima Konaté. According to information from the newspaper AS, Liverpool is looking to renew the center-back's contract but is already preparing for his possible departure.

This shows that Liverpool, despite its intention to keep the Frenchman, is already accepting that his departure is imminent. According to what we know at Defensa Central, Real Madrid could make an offer for Konaté in this situation. If Liverpool doesn't accept any offer, Real Madrid will simply wait until the end of the French center-back's contract.

Although Konaté is an indispensable player for Liverpool, the club has already moved in the market to cover his absence. Giovanni Leoni, a young center-back from Parma, is close to signing with the Anfield side. In addition, Marc Guéhi is also another center-back who could wear red to replace Konaté.

Real Madrid's opportunity

After a great summer transfer window, Real Madrid is looking to secure its defense once and for all. Huijsen, Trent, and Carreras are signings that generate a lot of excitement and possess immense talent. However, due to the age and situation of some center-backs in the squad, Real Madrid has seen Konaté as the player to complete its transfer window.

At 26 years old, Konaté has been shining at Anfield since his arrival during the summer of 2021. Considered one of the best center-backs in the Premier League, the Frenchman has been key to Liverpool's recent successes. This is why the club has tried to renew Konaté's contract on several occasions.

Unfortunately for Liverpool, the Frenchman has rejected each and every offer. The possible signings of Leoni and Guéhi have opened the exit door for the Frenchman. In light of this, Real Madrid has no intention of missing the opportunity it was waiting for.

The last signing of the summer

Huijsen, Mastantuono, Trent, and Carreras are the signings the club has made this summer. Konaté could join them as Real Madrid's fifth and final transfer this window. Despite the lack of departures the club has had this summer, the squad has a spot for Konaté.
