Even though Dean Huijsen has arrived, Real Madrid is not ruling out signing another centre-back during the summer transfer window.
Currently, the coaching staff and the club’s board are particularly concerned about the center defensive.
Performances at the FIFA Club World Cup, as well as the physical condition of some of the existing defenders, have made strengthening the centre of defence a top priority.
According to MARCA, two names stand out as potential centre-back reinforcements for Real Madrid Ibrahima Konate and William.
Real Madrid Planning move for Konate in the works
According to the article, conversations at Valdebebas have increasingly included Konate, Liverpool’s centre-back whose contract expires on June 30, 2026.
The English champions think that the Real Madrid board has already started early steps for the player in anticipation of his free transfer next season.
After all, renewal talks have not proceeded as planned, increasing doubts about his future at Anfield.
However, in the following weeks, Real Madrid may consider making an early play for Konate.
Liverpool’s board is unlikely to let him go cheaply, but they also understand they cannot afford to lose such a player for nothing.
According to recent sources, the Premier League champions may seek at least €50 million for the 26-year-old defender.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, would not be willing to pay more than €20-25 million for a player in his final year of contract who is ready to move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
