Ibrahima Konate's Liverpool Future Is a 'Sure Thing' as Real Madrid Make Their Stance Clear - Liverpool Echo
Real Madrid aims to strengthen defense by pursuing free transfers of Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate and Bayern Munich's Dayot Upamecano amid stalled contract renewals, following Alexander-Arnold's signing.
- On Sep 8, 2025, Real Madrid are targeting Bayern Munich's Dayot Upamecano and Liverpool's Ibrahima Konaté as free agents, with reports saying Konaté is in advanced talks for a free transfer.
- Konaté's contract situation explains the interest as he enters Liverpool FC's final contract year, with renewal talks stalled; Real Madrid previously signed Trent Alexander-Arnold similarly.
- Supporting that interest, Ibrahima Konaté is ranked no.5 by FourFourTwo and called a reliable Premier League defender, and he joked `He calls me every two hours!` about Kylian Mbappé.
- The potential exit would weaken Liverpool FC's defence, causing a loss of depth and replacement needs, though they can still finalise a renewal during the 2025-26 season.
- On the longer horizon, Fabrizio Romano reports Real Madrid identified Ibrahima Konaté as a potential 2026 signing and remains ready to act if opportunities arise.
