In what could be one of the most surprising transfer twists of the summer, reports claim that Liverpool have agreed to a player-plus-cash deal involving French defender Ibrahima Konaté and €35 million, in exchange for a Real Madrid star who is reportedly seeking a fresh start after losing favour under Xabi Alonso.

⚪️ The unnamed Madrid player is said to be pushing for an exit after finding himself on the bench more often than not, while Konaté is believed to be open to a new challenge—one that could see him land in the Spanish capital.

🔍 Real Madrid Transfer Watch: Who’s In & Who Might Be Out?

With pre-season just around the corner, Real Madrid continues to reshape their squad:

🔁 Potential Exits:

Antonio Rüdiger: The 32-year-old centre-back has caught the attention of Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, where Cristiano Ronaldo currently plays. With only one year left on his contract, a move could be on the horizon.

Rodrygo: Although he’s publicly reaffirmed his loyalty to Madrid, the Brazilian winger has been linked with moves to Arsenal and PSG. If he opts to leave, the club may not stand in his way.


✅ Likely Arrivals:

Álvaro Carreras: The Benfica left-back is close to completing a move to the Bernabéu, pending a decision from Manchester United, who hold a matching rights clause.

Ibrahima Konaté: Whether this summer or the next, Madrid have their eyes on the Liverpool centre-back. While a free transfer next year is an option, they might act sooner.

Alexis Mac Allister: Madrid is reportedly considering a $116.8 million bid for the Liverpool midfielder, a player highly regarded by Alonso.
