Real Madrid are planning a defensive reset. Madrid have reportedly reopened talks with Ibrahima Konaté and are prepared to sign the Liverpool defender on a free transfer this summer. The move comes as uncertainty builds across Madrid’s back line. Contracts for Antonio Rüdiger, David Alaba, and Dani Carvajal are approaching their final stages, while Éder Militão continues to battle injury setbacks. Konaté’s profile fits exactly what Madrid want: pace, physicality, and experience at the highest level. Los Blancos are also keeping an eye on Nico Schlotterbeck, whose contract negotiations with Borussia Dortmund remain unresolved.
