Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold has long been rumored to be a potential target for Real Madrid, but it seems the Spanish giants are now turning their attention to one of his teammates instead.
As January draws to a close, Liverpool finds themselves in a precarious position, with contract extensions yet to be agreed upon for key players like Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mo Salah. However, there has been no confirmation that any of the trio are planning to leave, giving Reds fans a sense of reassurance.
Reports indicate that Real Madrid have now set their sights on Ibrahima Konate, with the Spanish club keen to strengthen their defense following Eder Militao’s injury. Liverpool is actively working on securing Konate’s future by renewing his contract to ward off interest from both Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, who are also keeping tabs on the situation.
Madrid’s interest in Konate is said to be fueled by his impressive big-game experience, which they consider a vital asset, especially after their heavy loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup.
While Alexander-Arnold’s potential move to Madrid remains uncertain, Konate’s situation could become a major talking point in the upcoming transfer window.
