Ibrahima Konaté, the 27-year-old French national team center-back who saw out his contract with Liverpool, had been linked with numerous clubs in recent months, notably Paris Saint-Germain. But, unsurprisingly, he signed his new contract with Real Madrid. The Madrid club announced the signing today, extending his stay until 2023.
Real Madrid has been leading the race for Konaté for some time, though it remains unclear to what extent PSG was involved in the discussions. We’ll have to wait and see if there are any revelations on this subject. In any case, the French international defender will not be joining Paris. His future lies with Real Madrid, who have been very active in this transfer window. Several signings have already been announced, not to mention the arrival of coach José Mourinho. The Madrid club is looking to bounce back after a difficult season.
