Real Madrid have resumed talks with Ibrahima Konate’s representatives. Defensa Central reported that Madrid president Florentino Perez is willing to offer the player a signing-on bonus of approximately €15million (£13m, $17.3m) to persuade him to join as a free agent this summer. Konate's contract with Liverpool expires at the end of the season, and a new agreement has not been reached. Graeme Bailey reports that Liverpool have made their highest salary offer to date to Konate and are still keen to persuade him to accept new terms.

TEAMtalk insider Graeme Bailey revealed that Liverpool have made what he described as their biggest offer yet to Ibrahima Konate for a contract extension. Madrid are one of three clubs looking to sign him on a free transfer, along with Barcelona and Inter Milan. Madrid have already presented an offer to Konate’s camp and are strongly competing for his signature. Well-placed sources say there is what they described as a new confidence at Liverpool that Konate will sign a new contract. The club wants a definitive answer from Konate by Easter to prevent uncertainty from continuing into the summer, which gives the player less than a month to reach a final decision.

Team Talk reports that Real Madrid remain in contention to sign Konate and have recently presented an offer in principle to his representatives.

According to Goal.com, Real Madrid have identified Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate as their primary defensive target for the summer.

According to journalist Nicola Schira, Real Madrid has submitted an offer to Konaté.

Journalist Matteo Morreto reported on Radio Marca that Real Madrid have made contact with Ibrahima Konate and have asked about his situation. A report from ESPN in February 2026 stated that Madrid are interested in Konate again and are keen to sign him on a free transfer. Konate will become a free agent in the summer of 2026 and is permitted to speak with clubs outside the Premier League. Real Madrid journalist Ramon Alvarez de Mon noted that Madrid made a similar reversal of position regarding Antonio Rudiger before eventually signing him after his contract with Chelsea expired.

According to Team Talk, Liverpool will make a final attempt to agree to a new contract with Ibrahima Konate amid persistent links of a move to Real Madrid for the defender. A meeting with his agent is scheduled for this week.

According to ESPN Madrid correspondent Rodra, Real Madrid are still interested in Ibrahima Konate, but the centre-back must lower his demands to move to the club as a free agent.

Jones reports that Real Madrid became frustrated with stories about Konate and are not interested in a financial competition over personal terms or similar matters. Jones states that Real Madrid had become frustrated with the repeated discussions while Konate was non-committal about choosing them or staying at Liverpool. Liverpool had wondered if efforts were still being made privately to transfer Konate to Madrid.

AS reports that Real Madrid are considering various defensive options, including Guéhi and Liverpool's Ibrahima Konaté. The 26-year-old is reportedly an option who is available on a free transfer. According to the report, Konaté's agents have increased their salary demands, which is moving them away from the plans Real Madrid has for the position.

The Athletic previously claimed Real Madrid had informed Liverpool they would not pursue Ibrahima Konate in 2026. More recent reports have suggested Real Madrid might reverse that decision and re-explore signing Konate, having realised their centre-back situation is desperate. TEAMtalk has indicated that Konate is receptive to a new approach from Real Madrid. ESPN Deportes also reports that a move by Real Madrid for Konate has been almost ruled out.

Steele confirms that Real Madrid are looking at options other than Ibrahima Konate. Furthermore, Steele reports that Xabi Alonso is content and feels comfortable with the defensive duo of Dean Huijsen and Eder Militao.

According to sources in Spain, the idea of moving to Madrid had become increasingly appealing to Ibrahima Konate, but Real Madrid are willing to change their plans and have consistently considered other prominent players. Dean Jones told TEAMtalk that Konate was influenced by the interest from Madrid and was hoping to move there, but that the potential deal is no longer being considered due to recent performances. This is a decision Madrid is making with 2026 in mind, and it is suggested this may explain why Liverpool has observed more positive indications regarding Konate signing a new contract.

According to Goal.com, Real Madrid has decided to end its interest in Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate. It is reported that Real Madrid abruptly ended their interest in the Liverpool centre-back due to his poor form for the club. The France international is in the last year of his contract and has not yet indicated he will extend his stay on Merseyside. A potential move for him to Los Blancos appears to be over ahead of the January transfer window.

Real Madrid have informed Liverpool that they do not intend to sign Ibrahima Konate on a Bosman deal next summer, which is contrary to significant speculation over the past year. It had been suggested in widespread reports that they would bring Konate to the club on a free transfer in 2026 to provide additional competition for players such as Dean Huijsen, Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao. David Ornstein of The Athletic claims that Real Madrid have informed their Premier League counterparts directly and unequivocally that they now have no interest in recruiting the France international, which contradicts heavy speculation. Fabrizio Romano has also revealed that Konate will not join Real Madrid in 2026.

According to Bild, Liverpool is applying pressure on Ibrahima Konaté and will opt for a sale if he does not sign a renewal in the coming weeks.

It is understood that Liverpool have made a generous new contract offer to Ibrahima Konate in an attempt to prevent him from leaving for Real Madrid. There is perhaps a sense that Real Madrid is Konate’s priority if he ultimately decides not to renew with the Reds.

Marca has reported that Ibrahima Konate is the number one centre-back on Los Blancos’ preferred list. There have been claims in the Spanish media that a preliminary agreement exists between Konate and Real Madrid. Graeme Bailey has reported that talks between Liverpool and the defender’s agents indicate the centre-back has not reached an agreement with any other club.

There is serious interest from Real Madrid in Ibrahima Konate. Romano reports that Konate has several opportunities around Europe and that Real Madrid is certainly one of them. Romano also stated that Konate must now make a decision due to an ongoing negotiation with Liverpool.

Ibrahima Konaté is attracted by Real Madrid. Sky Sport reports that Liverpool's management does not intend to increase their contract offer. The club's management considers the offer sufficiently generous, and the contract would make Konaté one of the highest paid players in the squad. The proposed terms are not suitable for Konaté.

Sky Sports reporter Sacha Tavolieri reports that Ibrahima Konate has always wanted to play for Real Madrid and saw his contract situation as an opportunity. Real Madrid are yet to make any sort of concrete move. Konate indicated that the perennial links with Real Madrid were not helpful, and the player must decide whether to wait for the Spanish club or commit to a new deal at Liverpool. Real Madrid can sign Konate on a pre-contract agreement in 45 days.

According to Sacha Tavolieri, Liverpool have presented their final contract offer to Ibrahima Konate, and it will be the last one the club proposes. In recent months, Konate has made many calls to Real Madrid. If he accepts the proposed terms, he will become one of the highest-paid players in the squad led by Arne Slot. Konate now has to choose between accepting Liverpool's offer or waiting for an opportunity to play for Real Madrid. Playing for Real Madrid is described as something he has always wanted.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid is interested in signing Ibrahima Konaté. If an affirmative answer to Liverpool's contract extension proposal is not given in the coming weeks, Konaté may be sold in the upcoming winter market for Liverpool to obtain an economic benefit.

Ibrahima Konate admits that transfer speculation has placed him in a difficult situation, with questions continuing to be asked about how long he will remain at Anfield. Goal.com reports that Real Madrid are interested in the defender. Konate is in the final year of his contract and could become a free agent in the summer of 2026.

Ibrahima Konate has revealed that he gets calls from his compatriot Kylian Mbappe every two hours to sign for Real Madrid next season. The French defender is in the final year of his contract and from January he will be able to hold pre-contract talks with clubs abroad.

Ibrahima Konaté has not extended his current terms at Anfield, and his present contract runs until the end of the season. Real Madrid has been frequently mentioned as a potential destination, and it is said that talks are underway with the club about a potential summer transfer. Konaté’s representatives are exploring his options. The player stated that his agents are still in discussions with Liverpool and that he hopes his decision will be made very soon so he can announce it.

Sources have told TEAMtalk that Real Madrid are interested in a summer deal for Ibrahima Konate. French publication L’Equipe has reported that Konate has been given a new contract offer from Liverpool. E-Noticies reported that Kylian Mbappe has told Madrid to sign Konate after playing against him in the Champions League at Anfield last week. Furthermore, Defensa Central has claimed that Mbappe has internally endorsed the signing of Konate at Real Madrid, admitting that he is currently one of the best players in the world in his position.

One of the top sources in Spain has revealed that Liverpool have given up on keeping Ibrahima Konate amid interest from Real Madrid. Fabrizio Romano, the French media, and TEAMtalk sources have provided an entirely different account of the situation.

Real Madrid are monitoring Ibrahima Konate's situation closely. Their interest is described as more tentative, but according to reports, the Frenchman is considered an ideal addition to their team. The defender is set to become a free agent next summer. Sources close to the club indicate that Konaté is considering a move for a new experience after five seasons at Liverpool, particularly as several top European clubs are promising him a role as a defensive leader.

Reports in Germany state that the agent of Liverpool centre back Ibrahima Konaté has held talks with Real Madrid. Konaté is nearing the end of his contract and will be available to sign in the summer without a transfer fee. While Liverpool hope to extend his deal, reports claim Konaté is looking for a contract similar to those of high earners such as Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, which has not been offered. The player will soon have the ability to formally speak with other clubs regarding a new deal, which is likely to be more lucrative than an extension. According to Fabrizio Romano, communication between Liverpool and Konaté’s representatives remains open.

According to the Daily Briefing, Madrid are considering Ibrahima Konate after also considering Arsenal’s William Saliba until he signed a new contract at the Emirates Stadium.

AS reports that Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate is one of several centre-backs of interest to Real Madrid, and that he is another player in the last few months of his contract.

According to Defensa Central, Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konaté remains Real Madrid’s primary defensive target, despite interest in Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi and Bayern Munich’s Dayot Upamecano.

According to Bild journalist Christian Falk, Dayot Upamecano is a higher priority for Real Madrid than Ibrahima Konate, although the club is also very interested in Konate. This follows a report from Marca earlier in the month which stated that Real Madrid had made Konate their primary centre-back target. Real Madrid want to sign Konate as a free agent next summer, as the club consistently looks for free agent defenders. David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger were both free agents when they joined Real Madrid and are now expected to depart, with Saudi Arabia as a possible destination. According to TEAMtalk, Konate has not made a final decision regarding his future. Dean Jones reported that it is advantageous for Real Madrid to believe Konate might remain at Liverpool, and it is beneficial for the player to be aware that he has other possibilities.

According to Sky Sports Deutschland, Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté is a leading candidate to join Real Madrid should either Alaba or Rüdiger leave. The Frenchman is being watched closely by Real Madrid and they are expected to make an attempt to sign him next year. With the centre-back not signing a new deal at Anfield, Madrid are looking to acquire him for free, in the same way they signed Trent Alexander-Arnold this year.

Andy Brassell said that if two of Marc Guehi, Dayot Upamecano, and Ibrahima Konate were available, he questioned why a club would compete intensely with Arsenal for a transfer. Marc Guehi, Dayot Upamecano, and Ibrahima Konate are all out of contract at the end of the season. Real Madrid intends to sign one or possibly two new centre-backs in 2026, while Liverpool are determined to keep Ibrahima Konate.

Team Talk reports that Ibrahima Konate has reportedly been left feeling ‘outraged’ at a €20m Real Madrid decision, amid claims of a Liverpool transfer ‘collapse’.

Liverpool are now confident of keeping Ibrahima Konate, whose future has been the subject of speculation as he is in the final year of his contract. This development has led Real Madrid to look at other options.

Team Talk reports on Real Madrid's continued interest in signing Ibrahima Konate, who remains a prime target for the club. Madrid reportedly want him as part of their project that sees them targeting top players as their contracts wind down. The five-year arrangement Konate signed when arriving from RB Leipzig in 2021 is due to expire. According to the report, talks have been ongoing over a new contract for the best part of 12 months, but it still remains unsigned.

Ibrahima Konate, who is out of contract at Liverpool at the end of the 2025/26 campaign, is a top target for Real Madrid. Jones has said that Madrid seem convinced that Konate is interested, adding that the stories surrounding them are not just speculation.

Real Madrid were keen on securing Ibrahima Konate's signature, but it appears that they have changed their preference.

According to Marca, Liverpool believe that Ibrahima Konate will join Madrid next summer when he becomes a free agent. Marca has reported that given that Konate has still not signed a new deal, Liverpool think his commitment to Real Madrid is more than just a rumour. Fabrizio Romano reported this week that Liverpool and Konate are still in conversation, while, according to Ornstein on NBC Sports, talks are active. TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, Dean Jones, has reported that it would make sense for Konate to drag out the transfer saga so that he can get the best deal possible.

Marca reports that Ibrahima Konaté is a new potential target for Real Madrid and is on the club's new list of potential targets. There have been longstanding rumors regarding his commitment to Real Madrid. The report adds that Anfield is concerned due to his refusal to renew his contract, and he is considered the number 1 target for the club. According to Marca, Konaté's contract ends in June 2026.

With Ibrahima Konate out of contract at Liverpool at the end of the season, Real Madrid are keen on signing the centre-back on a free transfer. Sources have told TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, Dean Jones, that Konate has not made up his mind whether to stay at Liverpool or join Real Madrid. The Spanish press believes that Madrid already have the buy-in from the defender. Fabrizio Romano has stated that the Reds are still in negotiations and have not given up on convincing him to sign a new contract, adding that there is no agreement in place between the French star and Madrid. Romano said Real Madrid are interested in Konate and are following his situation, but it is too early to say what will happen. Romano also noted that several clubs in Europe, including Real Madrid, are interested in Konate's situation.

Sources have told TEAMtalk that Real Madrid have begun a move to sign Ibrahima Konate next summer. With his Liverpool contract expiring at the end of the season, Madrid are keen to acquire him on a free transfer. It is also claimed that Real Madrid have a plan to convince Konate to join them and not extend his current deal.

Counterclaims in the Spanish press state that Real Madrid could abandon their quest to sign Ibrahima Konate and will instead target Bayern Munich’s Dayot Upamecano. Separately, Dean Jones has a suspicion that the saga will drag out and that Konate is happy to play the two sides off against one another. Jones stated that it is helpful for Madrid to believe he could still stay at Liverpool and it is good for him to know that he has options, if one gives up on him.

According to sources, Liverpool will not break the bank to keep Ibrahima Konate at the club if he decides Real Madrid is the best route for him.

Real Madrid are interested in signing Ibrahima Konaté on a free transfer and have already established their desire to get a deal done behind the scenes. Madrid are free to hold formal negotiations with Konaté as early as January. It was reported that Madrid’s decision-makers are not all in agreement when it comes to a move for Konaté, with some inside the club believing he is not the right target. Konaté is in the final year of his contract and talks over an extension have so far failed to yield a positive result. Talks between Liverpool and Konaté are ongoing but are a long way from a positive resolution. David Ornstein reports that the Frenchman has not yet formally turned down a new contract. Negotiations have centred on Konaté’s salary, which is believed to be significantly higher than the widely reported sum of £70,000 ($94,000), with his real earnings believed to be more than double that amount. Konaté is seeking a pay rise that would see him join players like Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk among Liverpool’s highest earners. Talks over an extension have proven complicated, and Konaté and Liverpool are thought to be in a stalemate as he approaches the final six months of his contract.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid is a possibility for Ibrahima Konate if he does not extend his contract, as the club appreciates the player and loves a free transfer. Dean Jones believes Konate is the most likely centre-back target for Real Madrid in 2026, despite links to other players. Jones said he does not believe there is any contact involved at this stage, but that Madrid want to turn people's heads.

According to strong reports in Spain this week, the move to the Bernabeu was declared a ‘done deal’, with an announcement poised to be made in early January. However, French newspaper L’Equipe has strongly refuted those claims and revealed that Ibrahima Konate is keen to stay at Anfield.

Duolingo's official account suggested that Ibrahima Konate could be on his way to Real Madrid, hinting an agreement could be close. The account suggested Konate had been learning Spanish, writing in response to a post speculating on the defender's future that Ibrahima Konate is a member of their Spanish Diamond League.

Fresh reports in Spain claim Ibrahima Konate is on the brink of agreeing a free transfer to Real Madrid at the end of the season. According to these reports, Florentino Perez is now more determined than ever to bring Konate to the Bernabeu, amid claims he is ‘closer than ever’ to Real and may even ‘sign a contract with them from January’. A report from Defensa Central adds that Konate, described as ‘a true defensive wall with a great header’, is a player that the derby has ‘ended up bringing Madrid even closer to’. While Defensa Central states that Liverpool still intend to renew his contract, the outlet claims officials at Anfield ‘know he’s already decided to join Real Madrid’. The Reds reportedly ‘suspect he’s already had talks with Real Madrid through intermediaries’, and that these secret negotiations ‘could be the reason why he has such a firm intention to reject major financial and sporting offers from the English club’. The report concludes that in January, Konate could negotiate directly with Real Madrid and even sign a contract.

According to information from 'ESPN', the Royals are planning an approach for Ibrahima Konaté in the summer. He is currently said to be the main target.

Ibrahima Konaté is an option for Real Madrid to join next summer after his contract with Liverpool ends. According to ESPN, there are internal reservations at Real Madrid regarding his profile, and several senior players want more consensus and reflection before recruiting him.

Fabrizio Romano stated that Real Madrid do not forget the name of Ibrahima Konate because his situation has been complicated since November. According to Romano, a new contract at Liverpool was quite close in October/November 2024, but then there were some changes in the conversation and it is now still difficult. Romano said that Liverpool are still trying to extend Konate's contract and made new attempts in August, but at the moment it looks complicated. Romano stated that Konate is one of the names to keep on Real Madrid’s shortlist. ESPN confirmed the club are giving serious thought to signing a new defender in 2026, and stated that there is not the same degree of unanimity inside Real Madrid over a move for Konate as there was in the case of Alexander-Arnold. Dean Jones said he was told Konate was the one they have considered most likely but that they clearly have eyes on other players too.

According to ESPN, Ibrahima Konate is being monitored as a transfer target for Real Madrid, though there is some internal debate within the club about the deal. Konate is in the final year of his Liverpool contract and is yet to agree a new one. From January 1st onwards, the player can start negotiating a move for next season with clubs outside England.

Real Madrid could sign Ibrahima Konate in 2026 and have a very good relationship with his agents. Konate is still a possibility for Real Madrid, but nothing will happen before January, as the club will not do anything illegal by negotiating or agreeing with the player beforehand. If he does not extend his contract, Konate will be free to talk with any club, and Real Madrid is a possibility. Liverpool are still trying to extend Konate's contract and made new attempts in August, but at the moment an extension looks difficult.

AS reports on Real Madrid's interest in Ibrahima Konaté as a potential transfer target. According to the report, Real Madrid is focusing its efforts on Konaté as one of two alternatives for the central defense, and both defenders' contracts end next season. It is also mentioned that Arne Slot is left without a replacement for Konaté and will need the Parisian more than ever.

The defender has been turning down contract offers in favour of a move to Real Madrid, and TEAMtalk is aware he is their favoured centre-back option. Fabrizio Romano has recently stated that Ibrahima Konate is out of contract in 2026, which might present an opportunity. Romano confirmed that Real Madrid are attentive but added that it is still early to make decisions. In Spain, it is believed to be an open secret that Konate is going to sign for Real Madrid.

Ibrahima Konaté and Liverpool are reportedly still not close to reaching an agreement for a new contract extension, with recent reports claiming Konaté rejected a third approach over improved personal terms earlier this month. Fabrizio Romano revealed that there is still nothing really close to a new agreement between Liverpool and the centre-back, and that an extension looks difficult at the moment. According to Romano, Real Madrid are monitoring the situation and are considering potentially signing the Frenchman as a free agent this summer. He added that while it is still early to make decisions, Real Madrid's interest could intensify in the coming months.

Real Madrid were keeping tabs on Ibrahima Konate as a potential option for the summer window and are now expected to push for a move to sign the Liverpool player. Konate will be a free agent in the summer. As reported by Mark Brus on the Daily Briefing, Liverpool have not given up on the hope of agreeing on a new deal with the French international, but nothing has been agreed yet. There is cautious optimism within the club.

According to Defensa Central, Liverpool have offered Ibrahima Konaté a renewal proposal in an attempt to deter Real Madrid’s interest. The offer reportedly spans five years and is worth £185,000 per week. However, Konaté is said to have turned down the deal, as the contract does not yet match his expectations. Real Madrid are preparing for a reshuffle in their defense, with senior centre-backs like David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger expected to leave when their contracts end.

According to Team Talk, Real Madrid have learned the response Ibrahima Konate gave to Liverpool after the club offered him a five-year contract that would see him earn £185,000 per week.

Real Madrid’s interest in Ibrahima Konate has been verified by numerous trusted sources and outlets outside of Spain. Liverpool have tried and failed on several occasions to tie Konate down to a new deal. According to Marca, Liverpool believe any further attempts to try and convince Konate to stay would be fruitless and are taking a commitment between the player and Real Madrid for granted. The outlet added that Konate’s goal is playing for Real Madrid and that contact between the club and his camp has long been established and continues to be maintained. Marca also reports that Real Madrid intend to sign Konate via free agency when his contract ends next summer.

It is believed that Real Madrid is approaching a verbal understanding with Konate, with the potential for this to become a formal agreement in the upcoming months. Fabrizio Romano has verified Madrid's sincere interest but also mentions their wish to avoid friction with Liverpool. On their part, Liverpool continue to hold talks with Konate and his camp, even after the player declined three different contract extension proposals. The club is still optimistic about securing a new deal and has the remainder of the season to negotiate.

This interest forms part of a broader strategy by Real Madrid to leverage the success of French players at the club, as demonstrated by former star Raphaël Varane and current players Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni. Although the winter transfer window might not bring significant changes, the summer of 2025 is expected to be a crucial time for Real Madrid's defensive enhancements.
