Real Madrid pulled out in Konate's deal
Real Madrid has decided not to sign Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate, reportedly informing the Reds "directly and unequivocally" that they're no longer interested. This move comes as a surprise, given Konate's strong performance last season, which helped Liverpool win the Premier League title race.
The French center-back's form has dipped this season, which likely influenced Madrid's decision. With Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba already solidifying their defense, Konate is no longer a priority for Los Blancos .
Konate's contract with Liverpool expires next summer, and he's now free to discuss a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs from January onwards. Potential suitors include Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and even Liverpool themselves, who might try to extend his contract .
