- Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of France centre-back Ibrahima Konate on a free transfer from Liverpool, with the deal set to run until June 30, 2030.
- Konate's departure from Anfield was previously announced by Liverpool after he decided not to renew his contract, which expired on June 30.
- This transfer marks Konate as the third Premier League player to join Real Madrid this week, following Marc Cucurella from Chelsea and Bernardo Silva from Manchester City, as the club rebuilds its squad under returning head coach Jose Mourinho.
- During his time at Liverpool, Konate made 183 appearances, scoring seven goals, and contributed to winning a Premier League title, an FA Cup, and two League Cups.
- Konate's move follows other significant departures from Liverpool, including Mohamed Salah, Andrew Robertson, and head coach Arne Slot, as the club aims to recover from a disappointing season.
