Ibrahima Konaté

In July 2021, the player completed a transfer from RB Leipzig to Liverpool for a reported €40 million. Throughout 2025, as his contract ran down, various valuations were reported. In March 2025, Liverpool's asking price was reportedly €60 million, a figure also cited by Transfermarkt in May 2025. In summer 2025, reports mentioned a potential €40 million bid from Atletico Madrid and a €50 million bid from Chelsea. By December 2025, a potential January transfer fee was cited as low as €15 million. As he approached free agency in March 2026, reports claimed he demanded a signing-on fee of €15-18 million from Real Madrid, with the club reportedly willing to offer around €15 million.

Our valuation for Ibrahima Konaté is based on his status as a high-profile free agent. While the transfer fee is technically zero due to his expiring contract, his value is represented by the significant signing-on bonus required. Reports from March 2026 detailed demands and offers for this bonus in the €15-18 million range, which forms the basis of our estimate. This is contextualized by his €40 million transfer in 2021 and reported club valuations as high as €60 million in mid-2025.
