Real Madrid Renew Konaté Pursuit as Liverpool Contract Talks Drag On

Real Madrid have recontacted Konaté’s camp following setbacks in moves for other centre-back targets.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Madrid have made fresh enquiries with Ibrahima Konaté’s representatives, reversing an earlier cooling of interest.
  • Konaté is out of contract at Liverpool at season’s end, and there is no agreed renewal as discussions with his agents continue.
  • Madrid’s shortlist has narrowed, with Dayot Upamecano committing to Bayern Munich and Marc Guehi joining Manchester City.
  • Liverpool want to keep the 26-year-old and remain in talks, even after securing Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes for next season as additional depth.
  • Reporting indicates Madrid could move in June if Konaté lets his deal run down, with the situation monitored as a potential free transfer.
