Arne Slot has already gone through a free agent saga in his year with the club, as Trent Alexander-Arnold chose to make the switch to Real Madrid.

And now, it feels like the same thing could be happening again with Konate also holding out for a potential move to the La Liga giants.

However, some new information has come to light which will certainly be of interest to Liverpool fans.

Since the summer transfer window first opened, the future of Konate has been brought into question.

With no chance of a renewal in the near future, it feels like now would be the best time for Liverpool to get rid of him, especially if they want a fee for the Frenchman.

The report outlines that now that Los Blancos have ‘set their eyes’ on Konate, they want to try and sign him this summer, rather than wait until the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

This comes following the ‘bad performances’ of players such as Antonio Rudiger over the last season or so.

Diario Sport also go on to say that now Liverpool are interested in signing Rodrygo, Xabi Alonso could use him as a ‘bargaining chip’ to get Konate to Spain.

There’s no denying that Liverpool would be better off keeping Konate at the club than they would be selling him this summer.
