Always on the lookout for smart free-agent moves, Real Madrid already have their sights set on June 2026: Ibrahima Konaté.
According to Marca, the Liverpool centre-back—out of contract in 2026—is now Los Blancos’ top defensive target for that window.
Masters of the free transfer game (Mbappé, Rüdiger, Alaba…), Real see Konaté as a golden opportunity. Valued at €60M, the French international is currently the most valuable player worldwide with only one year left on his deal, per Transfermarkt.
A growing fear for Liverpool
With Trent Alexander-Arnold already heading to Madrid, Liverpool are now wary of losing Konaté for free. Talks over a contract extension are dragging on, and a decision may be forced in the coming months.
Also on Madrid’s radar: Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal) and Cristhian Mosquera (Valencia). Real Madrid are building their future—quietly but deliberately.
