Real Madrid needs Ibrahima Conate
Meanwhile, it’s no surprise that Real Madrid wants to sign the French defender. They need to plan the future after Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba. Signing a quality central defender must be a priority for them. Konate is certainly one of the best defenders in the Premier League and has a quality that will also be successful in Spain.
Liverpool hopes to win major trophies next season as well, and they have to do everything in their power to embrace the best players. Losing French internationals is not just an option for them.
