Real Madrid transfer news – The Los Blancos are now close to signing a Liverpool star as Xabi Alonso pressing to sign the player.
Real Madrid will begin their 2025/26 LaLiga campaign against Osasuna in midweek. It will mark the beginning of the Xabi Alonso era at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Los Blancos are still active in the market as they are looking to bring in a new midfielder. The humiliating defeat in the Club World Cup against PSG was an eye-opener for Madrid.
PSG midfielders ran the game, and the Madrid midfielders seemed like passengers. They were unable to do anything. That is why Xabi Alonso is trying to bring in a new midfielder.
Real Madrid are already eyeing a move for Alexis Mac Allister from Liverpool as their new midfield reinforcement.
However, Xabi Alonso knows that the midfield is not the only problem for the Los Blancos. At least 2 out of the 4 goals they conceded against PSG were down to mistakes from their centre-backs.
Both Antonio Rudiger and Raul Asencio should be blamed for the mistakes they made. That is why Xabi Alonso is demanding the signing of a new centre-back.
Real Madrid have shown interest in Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate before, as reported by Transfer News Live.
Now, according to Defensa Central, Real Madrid are very close to signing the French international.
Ibrahima Konate’s contract with Liverpool is set to expire next year. And Liverpool already lost Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid on a free transfer.
Real Madrid are ready to wait and sign Konate on a free transfer, as the Frenchman has already indicated he wants to play at Santiago Bernabeu.
However, Liverpool are not ready to make the same mistake. They are approaching Konate to sign a new contract, which the French international has declined.
Now, the Reds are ready to sell Konate, and PSG are also showing an interest in the player. So, Real Madrid have to sign Ibrahima Konate this season.
Once Liverpool secure Konate’s replacement in the coming days, things will accelerate, as Liverpool don’t want to lose him on a free transfer.
The Reds are looking for a fee of around €50 million from Real Madrid.
