Madrid’s famous club “Real” is planning to strengthen its squad before the summer transfer window closes. This time, the focus is on the central defensive line, according to lequipe.fr and transfernewslive.com.
According to the reports, the “royal club” has officially submitted an inquiry for Ibrahima Konaté, who is currently playing for one of the strongest teams in the English Premier League – Liverpool. The club’s management is trying to determine his transfer fee.
Interestingly, Konaté himself is reportedly responding positively to Real’s interest. It is stated that he dreams of playing at the Santiago Bernabéu.
At the same time, Real is also seriously eyeing another talented defender – Arsenal’s centre-back William Saliba. His performance, physical strength, and ability to read situations have drawn the attention of the team’s specialists.
However, sources claim that Saliba’s transfer could be significantly more difficult than Konaté’s return. This is because the French defender still has at least two years left on his current contract with the London club.
There is also a noticeable financial difference between the two deals. According to Transfermarkt, Saliba’s market value is estimated at around 80 million euros. Konaté’s price is about 60 million euros.
In this situation, Real’s final decision could depend on the players’ personal wishes, negotiations with their clubs, and financial balance.
Football fans are closely following the developments. Who will Real choose to fill the gap in central defense? It’s a critical issue for next season’s results. These transfers are undoubtedly part of a major strategic plan. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
