In search of a reliable central defender, Real Madrid would have the idea of recruiting a French player, playing in the Premier League.
The central defender position is a slight problem for Real Madrid, as Eder Militao and David Alaba are no longer reliable options to accompany Rüdiger, due to their numerous injuries. The Spanish club would like to recruit a player to strengthen their defensive sector, a reliable player, ideally young, and… French!
If the William Saliba track has been mentioned for several weeks, the English press is now talking about Real Madrid's interest in Ibrahima Konaté. The Merengue like the Liverpool player, and so does his contractual situation. As a reminder, the French international will be at the end of his contract in June 2026, and we know that Madrid likes to recruit free players in recent years.
-However, Real Madrid is obviously not alone in this matter. Paris Saint-Germain has been following the French defender for several years now, and would see in Konaté the ideal successor to Marquinhos, who is nearing the end of his adventure at PSG. The player, for his part, had not closed the door to arriving in Paris. In an interview for Téléfoothe declared that “PSG is in my genes, but I don't think about it.”
