PSG Get Latest News on Real Madrid’s Plans to Pursue Liverpool Standout

According to Fichajes, Real Madrid are considering making an offer as early as January to put pressure on Liverpool to part ways with Konaté. However, that approach comes with potential downsides — it could create a contract dispute or damage the club’s standing if Liverpool refuse to negotiate.

For now, Real Madrid are weighing their options carefully, aware that waiting until the summer would allow them to secure the defender on a free transfer. While that route makes more sense financially, it wouldn’t provide an immediate boost to the squad.

There’s some uncertainty about Real Madrid’s interest in the French defender, as Fichajes also reported the club is now targeting Bayern Munich’s Dayot Upamecano instead.

The change seems tied to Konaté’s uneven performances this season, which have prevented him from hitting top form. With talk of Real Madrid’s interest in Konaté cooling, the club appears to be adjusting its transfer approach.
