Real Madrid working on another free agent deal; this PL star on the verge of leaving?
Real Madrid is reportedly working on another free agent deal after Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on June 19, 2025, 18:57 IST Last updated June 19, 2025, 18:57 IST Real Madrid is reportedly working on another free agent deal after Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool. The player who has been now listed is from Liverpool only and one of the great defenders in the PL right now. Ibrahima Konate has been rumoured to be leaving the side and Madrid are monitoring his situation closely. They are planning to make a move for the centre-back as they have a chance to get them as a free agent this summer. Real Madrid are reportedly working on yet another high-profile free agent deal, with Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté emerging as their latest target. Following reports linking Trent Alexander-Arnold with a potential free move to the Spanish capital, Konaté has now entered the spotlight as Los Blancos look to bolster their backline. According to several sources, Real Madrid are closely monitoring Konaté's situation at Anfield, with his contract set to run down. The 25-year-old Frenchman has established himself as one of the most promising centre-backs in the Premier League, combining pace, power, and composure to form a solid partnership with Virgil van Dijk. With uncertainty looming over Konaté's future and no contract extension agreed upon yet, Real Madrid see an opportunity to swoop in and secure the defender without a transfer fee. The La Liga giants are planning a strategic approach, similar to their previous free signings, as they aim to strengthen their squad without breaking the bank.
