Liverpool centre back Ibrahi Maconate is reportedly being monitored as a transfer target for Real Madrid, but there is internal debate within the club regarding the deal.
Konate is the final year of his Liverpool contract and could become one of the most attractive free agents on the market next summer.
France International is a key player in Liverpool and it’s easy to imagine him proof of a great signature for the real thing, especially if he can arrive for a free transfer.
Still, according to ESPN, not everyone in the Bernabeu is sure about the signature.
The report says there is internal debate about Madrid’s Conate, with Castello Lukeba being another defender the club is considering.
What is next for Ibrahima Conate as a free transfer loom?
Konate has yet to agree to a new Liverpool contract, which could bring great opportunities for real and other major clubs.
The 26-year-old is a key player in the LFC and will continue to push him to sign him into a new contract in weeks and months.
From January 1st, Conate can begin negotiations with clubs outside of England for next season’s moves.
This doesn’t give Liverpool much time to sort out his future. And this will give fans bad memories of how Trent Alexander Arnold Saga played.
Liverpool is looking for alternatives to conate
As reported only in the daily briefing here, Liverpool is beginning to plan their lives without conate in case they reject the offer of a new contract and decide to move on.
Mark Guech has been a summer target, and now Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo is also interested in another option for that position.
Still, many Liverpool fans will certainly remain in sight of a solid and reliable talent like Conate.
Perhaps if Real Madrid is not entirely certain about the signing, it could give a boost when it comes to trying to persuade Liverpool to stay.
