Bombshell Report: Reds Defender Gives Green Light to Stunning Exit

French defender Ibrahima Konate's moving step closer to leaving Liverpool for Real Madrid with the Spanish club considering him priority target in the ongoing summer transfer window.

Liverpool Preparing for Life After Konaté

According to Spanish outlet AS, Liverpool're reluctant to sell Konate this summer or risk losing him for free later but the club's already started working on replacements.

On Friday the Reds secured the signing of 20 year old centre back Giovanni Leoni from Parma in 35 million euro deal. They also keep Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi on their radar as part of long term plan for the post Konate era.

Real Madrid’s Strategy

Real Madrid who view the 26 year old Frenchman as defensive priority prefer to wait and sign him for free when his contract expires in 2026.

However with uncertainty surrounding the fitness of Eder Militao & David Alaba, the Spanish champions could change course and submit late offer this summer. Reports suggest any bid would not exceed €20 - 25 million.

Konate’s Green Light

Media reports claim Konate's already given his initial approval to Real Madrid switch whether it happens in this window or the next.

This development adds pressure on Liverpool who must balance keeping key defender with preparing their defensive line for the future.
