As a result, Konate has reportedly informed Liverpool that he might be interested in joining Real Madrid this summer. However, this decision would depend on whether Real Madrid make an official approach to sign him.

Real Madrid are looking to strengthen their defense and have included Konate in their list of potential targets. They may wait until next year to make a move, as Konate will be free to negotiate with foreign clubs once his contract expires.

Liverpool is likely to be cautious about losing another key player, as they did with Trent Alexander-Arnold in the previous transfer window.
