Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid, but it appears Los Blancos are now setting their sights on one of his teammates instead.
As January nears its end, Liverpool find themselves in a tricky spot, with no contract extensions yet signed by Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, or Mo Salah.
However, there’s also no confirmation that any of the trio are planning to leave, offering Reds fans a glimmer of hope.
Reports suggest that Real Madrid have shifted their focus to Ibrahima Konate, with the Spanish giants eager to bolster their defensive line following Eder Militao’s injury.
Liverpool are actively working to renew Konate’s contract, hoping to fend off interest from Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, who are also monitoring the situation.
Real Madrid’s interest in Konate reportedly stems from his big-game experience, which they view as a critical asset, especially after their recent heavy defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup.
Whether or not Alexander-Arnold joins Los Blancos, Konate’s potential move could become a key storyline in the transfer market.
