Liverpool was unable to capture Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer when he completed a move to Madrid.

Talksport understands that the red will have set up £ 10 million despite the expiry of his contract.

And Konate was able to enter his footsteps in 2026 as a Liverpool of the prospect of a key defender.

The Spanish outlet Marca reports that the France international is a goal for Madrid to benefit from his contract run.

They also say that Konate rejected a Liverpool renewal offer.

Arsenal left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly is another option at the end of the contract next to the Kristhische Mosquera in Valencia.

Konate came from RB Leipzig to Liverpool in 2021 and has seen 132 times in all competitions since then.

The 26-year-old is a Premier League, a FA Cup, a community Shield and a two-time Carabao Cup winner of the Reds.

Much of the success of Liverpool comes from the partnership of Virgil van Dijk at the center of her defense.

If he moved to Madrid, he would be used alongside Dean Huijsen, who made a change from Bournemouth from Bournemouth from a change of 50 million GBP in the early this summer.

The Liverpool Treaty of Konates expires in 12 months

Alexander-Arnold was officially unveiled on Thursday and gave his introductory speech in Spanish.

He will take the shirt No. 12 in a drastic change compared to No. 66, which he attracted in Liverpool.

The 26-year-old left his youth club after two decades and unshakable success.

Alexander-Arnold was part of two titles of the Premier League, which in 2019 lifted the Champions League.

However, his outcome in Liverpool was anything but perfect because the fans loudly spent him out loud in Anfield after he had revealed his decision to leave.

Nevertheless, he said he was happy with the way he went out, and “couldn’t say a bad word about it”.
