Real Madrid has already finalised its first signing for 2026

Real Madrid has decided that in the summer of 2026, Ibrahima Konates will attempt the transfer. The club aims to strengthen defence for the future and sees the French defender as the ideal player for the new project expected to be led by Xabi Alonso. Real's future coach loves the style of the game [...]
William Saliba of Arsenal has also been considered, but the London club has no intention of selling it. Thus, the leaders of Real Madrid have focused attention on the Conate, who has shown a high level at Premier League and has experience in important international matches.
According to Defensa Central, the Madrillians are preparing a plan to convince Konat not to renew the contract with Liverpool, which ends in the summer of 2026.
If he doesn't renew, he can leave as a free player and Real Madrid would be able to get him without paying any transfer fee.
On the other hand, Liverpool is trying to hold it, preparing a renovation offer. However, the player himself does not rule out the possibility of leaving, especially if he receives an alluring offer from Real Madrid, a club each player would like to play.
The Conate is a strong physical player, very clever in tactical terms and with leadership qualities in the field. These are the very traits that Xabi Alonso looks for in his new defense. It would be an excellent replacement for players like Davi Alabama and Antonio Rudiger, who are approaching the end of their career.
For Real Madrid, this is a rare opportunity to provide a world-class defender without spending on his cardboard. The club will do everything to convince Konat to choose Real Madrid as the next step in his career. /Telegraphy/
