Ibrahima Konate has already made his thoughts clear on rumors linking him to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid Circle as Liverpool Risk Another Free Exit
Liverpool fans are still coming to terms with the confirmed exit of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid. Now, another key figure, Ibrahima Konate, might be next in line. Alexander-Arnold will depart Anfield when his contract expires in June. He may possibly leave even earlier if Real push for a summer deal ahead of the Club World Cup.
While Reds could get a small transfer fee, it’s a fraction of what they could’ve earned last year. That situation may repeat with the Frenchman, whose current deal runs out in just over 12 months.
Spanish outlet Marca reports that Los Blancos are keeping tabs on the 25-year-old. They are waiting for him to let his deal run down, just like Trent. This would allow the Spanish giants to sign him on a free. That will put the Reds in another contract situation.

Although, this isn’t the first occasion that the defender has been linked with Anfield exit. But, with the timing of these reports, primarily with Alexander-Arnold heading back to Madrid, some fans are raising questions.
Both Salah and Van Dijk have both signed new contracts in the past several weeks. So, the fans expected Konate to do the same. So far however, no such luck. Unless things change fast, Liverpool could be staring at another high-profile exit on a free.
