AS newspaper reported that Real Madrid’s management is planning to sign a new player from Liverpool in the same way they signed Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Real Madrid has intensified its negotiations with Arnold in recent months and convinced him not to renew his contract with Liverpool. The player will join Los Blancos for free next summer.
Real Madrid’s management wants to continue adopting a policy of signing players for free, considering that this does not burden the club’s budget and saves the hassle of negotiations with other clubs.
Real Madrid want to sign Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool
It is no secret that Real Madrid is seeking to bolster the center-back position, which is why it has chosen Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate as its major signing, but only in the summer of 2026.
The French international’s contract with the Reds expires in 2026, and negotiations between him and Liverpool regarding a renewal have not yet progressed, which Real Madrid is seeking to capitalize on in the coming period.
Initially, Real Madrid officials are leaning toward not signing a center-back in the summer of 2025, and will instead wait until the summer of 2026 to sign one of Konate or William Saliba, if not both.
It’s worth noting that Konate previously confirmed his happiness with Liverpool, but British media outlets confirm that there is a huge disagreement between him and his club regarding the financial value of the new contract.
