Reports on the latest situation of Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konaté indicate that Real Madrid has officially withdrawn from pursuing the player.
Konaté’s situation is now very clear: Real Madrid has formally notified Liverpool that they are no longer in contention for the defender, who was previously one of their transfer targets. The Spanish giants now have other options as they continue scouting for new centre-backs for the 2026 summer transfer window, but Konaté is seemingly no longer under consideration.
Now, Konaté’s future is in his own hands. Liverpool have offered him a new contract and are awaiting his decision, but the club will not wait indefinitely. Talks are ongoing, and Konaté is expected to make a call soon. Additionally, other European clubs have shown interest in Konaté, and there will be significant movement at the centre-back position in next summer’s free-agent market. What is certain for now is that Real Madrid has officially pulled out of the race for Konaté.
