Liverpool star only wants Real Madrid this summer | OneFootball

A member of the defensive ranks at Premier League champions Liverpool has set his sights firmly on a move to Spain with Real Madrid.

That’s according to Marca, who point towards Ibrahima Konaté as the player in question.

The name of stopper Konaté has of course returned to the headlines in Spain’s capital across the week to date.

This comes amid the understanding that, after making the call not to extend his contract with Liverpool ahead of its expiration in 12 months’ time, the France international could well be on the move this summer.

Eager not to lose a player of such value for free, the board at Anfield are now giving real consideration to sanctioning Konaté’s sale over the weeks ahead.

Real Madrid, for one, have long been credited with a keen interest in the signature of the 26-year-old.

And if the latest word stemming from the media this weekend is anything to go by, then such interest appears to be very much mutual…

As per a report from Marca:

‘The center back has already told the directors that he has not ruled out the option of leaving this summer, as long as his possible destination is Real Madrid’
