🚨 Official: Konaté joins Real Madrid! | OneFootball

Another Blue at Real!

It had been in the works for several days, and it is now confirmed: starting next season, Ibrahima Konaté will be a Real Madrid player!

This Thursday morning, in the middle of the World Cup, the Spanish club officially announced the arrival of the 27-year-old France international centre-back on a free transfer.

After five seasons at Liverpool, Konaté decided to leave the club on a free transfer at the end of his contract, having notably won the 2025 Premier League with them.

The former Sochaux and Leipzig player is taking another step up by joining Real Madrid. And not just any Real Madrid: a side rebuilding after a completely disastrous 2025-2026 season!

Ibrahima Konaté thus becomes the fifth Frenchman in the Madrid squad, alongside Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Kylian Mbappé.

He has signed for Madrid until 2030.
