Real Madrid Make Enquiry About This Liverpool Star: Should They Sign Him? | OneFootball

Ibrahima Konaté arrived at Liverpool from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2021. Since then, he has been a solid performer for the club. He has done decently well and has contributed significantly to the English club’s success in the last few years.

Konate has featured across 32 games in the ongoing campaign, netting twice and as many assists. He is averaging 1 tackle, 0.6 interceptions, and 3.8 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).

The French centre-back is known for his strong physicality, calm nature, positioning and speed. He is extremely comfortable on the ball and has great distribution skills. He anticipates the threats well and marks an aerial dominance.

Real Madrid have dealt problems in their defensive units due to injuries and poor form. Hence, Carlo Ancelotti wants to sign a new centre-back to strengthen their unit and have enough backups available on the bench.

While they are linked with multiple defenders, Ibrahima Konate is the latest one to get added on the list. As per reports, the Whites recently approached Liverpool to discuss about the transfer. It also states that the English outfit want more than €60 million for the player.

The 25-year-old is a proven performer and can add a lot of value to the Real Madrid squad. He can solidify the backline and serve for many years to come. However, it remains to be seen if Konate will fancy a switch or prefer extending his stay at the Anfield stadium.
