Real Madrid ‘to sign’ Ibrahima Konaté on four-year deal, but no agreement | OneFootball

Real Madrid are working to sign Ibrahima Konaté, who is out of contract at Liverpool, but his camp are pushing back on talk of a deal already in place.

AS claims the 27-year-old France international, capped 27 times, will sign a four-year contract in the coming weeks.

That stance reflects caution over what is viewed as premature messaging from Madrid, or possibly genuine doubt about the move.

He was close to extending last month before Liverpool ultimately did not approve the agreement. He intends to remain in a competitive environment, and links to Saudi clubs are being dismissed.

Madrid fit the criteria and the defender has not hidden his interest in a club still considered among the world’s biggest despite a very disappointing season. With a presidential vote on Sunday, any movement is unlikely before then.
