Real Madrid continues with its plan for restructuring in the coming years, and although the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold has been one of the big surprises, he will not be the last major addition in this process. Florentino Perez's board is clear that certain areas need strengthening, especially the defence, which has been affected by injuries and questionable planning in the past.

Now, the club has turned its attention to Ibrahima Konaté, who looks set to be one of the next major free transfers. The French defender from Liverpool has become a key figure for the Reds and is starting to attract the attention of Europe's top clubs, including Madrid. The news has been confirmed by sources like MARCA, which states that Konaté is now high on Madrid's list of priorities.

Despite the competition, Real Madrid could seize the opportunity to sign a quality player like Konaté without having to spend a significant amount. The centre-back would be an ideal reinforcement for Carlo Ancelotti’s defensive setup, which needs more solidity and depth in that area.

The possibility of bringing Konaté in on a free transfer is a smart move for Madrid, aiming to strengthen the squad without committing to huge spending in a competitive upcoming market.
