Despite the looming presidential elections, Real Madrid has done an excellent job of advancing their transfer market activities this summer.
The Spanish club has especially targeted two defenders, Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries. Both have been signed, according to Fabrizio Romano, and it was announced yesterday night that Dumfries will arrive in Madrid to finish his physical.
Romano has already offered his standard ‘here we go’ for the Dumfries agreement.
Now, Romano has given his ‘here we go’ for the Konate deal, indicating that the French defender will really join Real Madrid next season.

The former RB Leipzig defender has signed a four-year contract with Los Blancos, just like Dumfries. Both players are scheduled to join the Madrid camp shortly, Reported on X.
Romano adds that Konate and Dumfries’ relocation will be made by officials only after the presidential election, in which Florentino Perez will face Enrique Riquelme.
Perez, on the other hand, is the clear frontrunner and has already approved these two acquisitions.
How will Konate and Dumfries fit into Real Madrid?
Konate and Dumfries are hardly world-class performers who will become the X-factor suddenly. However, they are tough players who will provide crucial depth to Real Madrid’s defense unit.
Konate can provide much-needed competition for centre-backs Dean Huijsen, Antonio Rudiger, and Eder Militao.
Meanwhile, Dumfries is expected to be Real Madrid’s regular left-back next season, since new coach Jose Mourinho is apparently not satisfied with Alvaro Carreras.
Real Madrid benefits since it will be able to announce both agreements before the World Cup, something the team really desired.
