Alexander-Arnold recently confirmed that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, posting a heartfelt farewell video on social media. His first appearance after the announcement, coming off the bench for Conor Bradley in a match against Arsenal, was met with boos from fans.
It is widely expected that the 26-year-old will join Real Madrid once his contract ends.
Now, attention is turning to another potential departure. French center-back Ibrahima Konaté, who is under contract until 2026, has yet to agree on a renewal. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reported that while discussions are ongoing, key contract terms remain unresolved. He also mentioned that Real Madrid are actively seeking a new central defender, with Konaté among their top targets.
Spanish outlet MARCA claims that Liverpool are seeing similar early signs from Konaté as they did with Alexander-Arnold, sparking concern within the club.
At the same time, Real Madrid are reportedly nearing a deal for Bournemouth’s rising star Dean Huijsen, with his representatives currently in Madrid to finalize the agreement.
Real Madrid are set to return to La Liga play this weekend with a match against Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium
