The renowned Real Madrid club has officially withdrawn from its long-held plans to sign Ibrahim Konaté. The European giant is said to have made this decision due to the player's decline in form in recent months, a decrease in playing time, and his failure to meet superclub standards.
According to reliable sources like Goal and The Athletic, the Madrid club has already informed Liverpool's management. This will undoubtedly have a serious impact on Konaté's future steps.
The 26-year-old French defender has long wanted the Santiago Bernabeu as his next destination. With this intention, he had been postponing the extension of his currently expiring contract with Liverpool.
Now the situation has changed dramatically - the Merseyside club has the opportunity to offer a new contract to retain the defender. If the club moves quickly, they could keep Konaté with the team for a long time.
At the same time, this is a serious signal for the player himself: the departure from Real Madrid will force him to revise his career strategic plans.
This season, Konaté has made 18 appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal. According to Transfermarkt, the defender's market value at the time was estimated at €55 million.
Now all eyes are focused on Konaté's decisions - whether he stays at Liverpool or looks for other options will be clarified in the coming days.
