In a stunning and emotional turn of events, Ibrahima Konaté has confirmed he is leaving Liverpool—and in a move that has sent shockwaves through Anfield, he revealed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will be joining him at Real Madrid.
The announcement has left fans reeling, with Konaté issuing a deeply personal statement explaining his decision:
“I want to leave. I know it may sound like a shock to many, but I haven’t been happy ever since he came into the club. It has been on my mind for the longest of time to leave, and now, with Real Madrid asking for my service to join them, I will be leaving with Trent Arnold.”
This double departure is being described as a seismic blow for Liverpool—losing not just a key defender, but also a club icon who embodies the academy’s success and local pride.

The fallout has been immediate and intense. Social media erupted with disbelief, frustration, and heartbreak. Many supporters have expressed outrage at Konaté’s comments, with some branding him “the most hated player in Liverpool history.”
