Transfer Bombshell: Ibrahima Konaté Says Goodbye to Liverpool Ahead of Real Madrid MoveTransfer Bombshell: Ibrahima Konaté Says Goodbye to Liverpool Ahead of Real Madrid Move


In a dramatic twist in the summer transfer saga, reports indicate that Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konaté is on the verge of sealing a sensational move to Real Madrid. The French defender is said to have bid an emotional farewell to teammates as he prepares to reunite with close friend and ex-Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold in the Spanish capital.


Konaté, who arrived at Anfield from RB Leipzig in 2021, quickly became a pillar of Liverpool’s defense, forming a formidable partnership with Virgil van Dijk. Known for his strength, composure, and aerial dominance, Konaté has played a vital role in the Reds’ backline over the past few seasons.


Sources suggest that Konaté has agreed on personal terms with Real Madrid, with the transfer fee expected to be around €60 million. The move has reportedly been approved by Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti, who sees the Frenchman as a crucial part of the club's long-term defensive plans.


According to those close to the club, Konaté addressed teammates at Liverpool’s training ground with a heartfelt message:


> “Liverpool has given me so much, and I’ll always carry those memories. But I’m ready for a new challenge, and I’m excited about what lies ahead in Madrid.”




The transfer comes shortly after Alexander-Arnold’s shock departure to Los Blancos, and insiders suggest their strong personal bond played a role in Konaté’s decision.


Liverpool’s new manager Arne Slot now faces a significant challenge in reinforcing his defensive line ahead of the new season—a clear sign of a changing era at Anfield.


Official confirmation from both clubs is expected in the coming days.
