The central defender of Liverpool, Ibrahima Konate, would be monitored as a transfer target for Real Madrid, although there is an internal debate within the club on the agreement.
Konate is in the last year of his Liverpool contract and could be one of the most tempting free agents on the market next summer.
The French international was a key player for Liverpool and it is easy to imagine it proving a beautiful signature for real, especially if it could happen on a free transfer.
However, it seems that everyone inside the Bernabeu is convinced of the signature, according to ESPN.
The report indicates that there is an internal debate on Konate in Madrid, with Castello Lukeba, another defender that the club is considering.
What is the following for Ibrahima Konate when the free transfer is looming?
Konate has not yet agreed with a new Liverpool contract and this could have a great opportunity for real and other clubs.
The 26 -year -old was an important player for LFC and they will surely continue to push to attach it to a new agreement in the weeks and months to come.
From January 1, Konate can start negotiating a move for next season with clubs outside of England.
This does not give Liverpool for so long to settle his future, and it will give fans of bad memories of the way the Saga Trent Alexander-Arnold ended up playing.
Liverpool looking at Konate’s replacements
As indicated exclusively for the daily briefing here, Liverpool is already starting to plan life without Konate in case he rejects any new contract offer and decides to move on.
Marc Guehi was a target in summer, and now there is also a certain interest for Ronald Araujo de Barcelona as another option in this position.
However, many fans of Liverpool would surely see a solid and reliable talent like Konate remaining on the spot.
Perhaps if Real Madrid is not quite sure of the signature, it could give a boost to Liverpool when it comes to trying again to persuade him to stay.
