It is no secret that Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on the possibility of signing Ibrahima Konate this summer.

 

The Spanish giants are always looking to strengthen their squad, and the French defender has emerged as a potential target ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

 

Konate has been outstanding since making the move to the Premier League. His physical presence, defensive awareness, and ability to play out from the back have made him an essential figure at Liverpool.

 

Contract situation an advantage for Real Madrid

 

Given his contract situation, Real Madrid could be in a strong position to negotiate a transfer at a more reasonable price.

 

Despite having a market value of around €60 million, there are indications from Real Madrid Confidencial that he could be available for approximately €40 million.

 

If the player is unwilling to extend his contract, Liverpool might have no choice but to consider offers rather than risk losing him for free in the future.

The French centre-back joined Liverpool in 2021 and has since become one of the club’s most important defensive players. He has been a regular starter for the Reds, proving to be a reliable figure at the heart of the defence.

 

His current contract runs until 2026, which could complicate negotiations. However, with just two years remaining on his deal, a lower bid from Real Madrid could force Liverpool into a decision.

 

A good signing?

 

The reported €40 million valuation could turn out to be a crucial factor in determining the outcome of this potential transfer.

 

If Real Madrid manage to secure Konate’s signing, it would once again showcase the club’s ability to capitalise on key opportunities in the transfer market.

 

The Frenchman is still only 25 years old and possesses both the physical and technical qualities needed to thrive at the highest level.

 

Bringing him to the Santiago Bernabéu would further strengthen an already formidable squad, proving once more why Florentino Pérez remains one of the most influential figures in football.

Real Madrid NewsReal Madrid legend shares thoughts on Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso – ‘The best’Published 11 minutes ago on March 26, 2025By Swapnil Photo by Ian MacNicol/Getty Images

Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos has shared his thoughts on Carlo Ancelotti’s future at the club, praising the Italian coach for his remarkable achievements with the club.

 

As the most successful manager in Real Madrid’s history in terms of trophies, Ancelotti continues to receive strong backing from figures associated with the club.

 

Speaking in an interview on El Chiringuito TV, the Brazilian icon was asked if Ancelotti represented the future of Real Madrid.

 

Without hesitation, he emphasised the Italian’s greatness, highlighting not only his achievements on the pitch but also his extraordinary character.

 

“Is Ancelotti the future of Real Madrid? Carlo is great. He’s the coach with the most titles at Madrid and he’s a spectacular person. He’s a human being like no other in the world,” he said.

 

Choosing between Alonso and Ancelotti

During the discussion, the interviewer attempted to steer the conversation towards Xabi Alonso, who has been widely linked with a potential return to Madrid as manager in the future.

When the journalist suggested that Alonso should wait for his opportunity, Carlos tactfully avoided taking sides.

 

Instead, he acknowledged Alonso’s coaching abilities and the impressive work he has been doing. However, he made it clear that for now, Ancelotti remains the best option for Real Madrid.

 

“Xabi Alonso is a great coach, he’s doing a great job. But Ancelotti is here, the best,” said the former left-back.

 

On Ronaldo’s comments

The former defender also touched upon Ronaldo Nazario’s past comments regarding Ancelotti’s potential move to the Brazilian national team.

Ronaldo had previously stated that Brazil had engaged in talks with the Real Madrid coach, but Los Blancos ultimately blocked the move.

 

When asked about this situation, Carlos admitted that he had read about the negotiations but was not personally involved.

 

“Do I know for a fact that Real Madrid prevented Ancelotti from going to Brazil? When you read and hear the news… it’s difficult. I wasn’t there. Ronaldo speaks from a business perspective that interested him,” he said.

 

Furthermore, he suggested that Ronaldo, who has ambitions of leading the Brazilian Football Confederation, may have wanted Ancelotti as the national team’s coach.

 

“It’s normal that Ronaldo, wanting to be president of the Brazilian Football Confederation, would go for the best… maybe he wanted Ancelotti as his coach,” he added.

 

Ultimately, Carlos maintained his stance in support of Ancelotti, reinforcing the idea that the Italian remains an integral part of Real Madrid’s present and future.
