Share

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate is reportedly in advanced talks to join Real Madrid on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of June.

The 27-year-old France international is set to leave Anfield after contract extension discussions broke down over differences regarding wages and valuation.

Konate made 183 appearances for Liverpool, helping the club win the Premier League, FA Cup, and two League Cups.

If completed, the move would make him the second Liverpool player in consecutive summers to join Real Madrid on a free transfer after Trent Alexander-Arnold.
