Real Madrid "attack" Liverpool duo
Real Madrid are planning to sign Liverpool star duo Ibrahima Konate and full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.
According to The Times, the Spanish Royal team is closely monitoring the situation of both players.
Ibrahima Konate joined Liverpool in 2021 and is now an important factor in the Anfield team's defense. However, Konate's contract only expires in 2026 and he has not agreed to extend it, sparking rumors of a possible departure. Not only Real Madrid but also Paris Saint-Germain are pursuing the 25-year-old player.
Unlike Konate, Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, when his current contract expires next June. Losing Alexander-Arnold will be a big loss for Liverpool, but so far there have been no clear moves from the Premier League leaders in 2024/25 to keep the English star. That is the basis for Real to be confident that they will convince Alexander-Arnold to come to the Bernabeu.
Besides the two Liverpool stars, Real Madrid are also keeping an eye on AC Milan's Theo Hernandez to strengthen their left-back position.
Notably, Real are said to have stopped pursuing Arsenal centre-back William Saliba, as Konate is much cheaper.
