Signing at zero cost for Real Madrid, Florentino does it once again.

Ibrahima Konaté has attracted interest from Real Madrid as a potential addition to strengthen the center of the defense. The Liverpool defender, under contract until 2026, is being closely monitored by the club, which is alertly watching any developments regarding his future.

From the United Kingdom, they claim that talks to renew his contract with the Anfield team are not progressing as desired. It is even possible that the club may consider his transfer this summer to avoid him leaving for free at the end of his contract. As reported by José Félix Díaz, there is some fear at Liverpool that a situation similar to that of Trent Alexander-Arnold may occur.

Real Madrid closely follows Ibrahima Konaté

For this reason, if Ibrahima Konaté becomes available in the market, Florentino Pérez would not hesitate to make a move to try to sign him. Real Madrid's top executive is fully aware that the team needs to shore up the defense, one of the areas that has suffered the most throughout this season.

Furthermore, at Madrid, there is concern for the future, which has led to considering the addition of a center-back with generational potential as essential. With Alaba and Rüdiger already surpassing the 30-year mark, and with Militao facing his second knee injury, reinforcing the defense has become a priority.

Xabi Alonso wants to strengthen the defense

Everything indicates that next summer will bring intense activity around Real Madrid. Sources close to the club suggest that there will be significant movements both in terms of signings and departures. The goal is clear: to form a competitive team and address the shortcomings that have been evident throughout the season.

Xabi Alonso, the main candidate to manage Real Madrid, will have a decisive role in shaping the sports project. He is expected to take an active approach in building the team, with direct involvement in squad planning and full support from Florentino.

For now, the coach from Tolosa already has the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold secured, although he will not be the only reinforcement. In addition to center-backs, Real Madrid is considering several names to strengthen both the left-back position and the midfield.
