Real Madrid are looking to strengthen their defence. The Los Blancos have started their La Liga season brilliantly.
So far, they have conceded only one goal. However, there is still a need for reinforcement in the back. With a couple of centre-backs ready to leave next summer, they will need to find replacements.
Florentino Perez wanted to find a solution for their defensive problems this summer. What happened in the Club World Cup was unacceptable for Xabi Alonso.
That is why he has been constantly demanding a new centre-back. They did sign Dean Huijsen. But the Spanish boss wants to sign another centre-back next summer.
The La Liga giants have set their sights on a Liverpool centre-back who played a key role in helping the Reds clinch their 20th Premier League title.
Real Madrid are now desperate to sign Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool. The French international’s contract with the Reds will expire next year.
The Anfield club is trying hard to convince the 26-year-old to sign a new deal. However, the French star has kept rejecting offers.
According to indyKaila News on X, Liverpool have sent a new contract to Ibrahima Konate. This will be the third time that the Reds are presenting him with a new contract.
But, the Spanish outlet, MARCA, has reported that the Frenchman has rejected that contract as well. So, this will be a huge blow for Liverpool.
The Reds have lost Trent Alexander-Arnold like that this summer when he left for Real Madrid after his contract expired. Something similar could happen with Konate as well.
