Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has often been linked with a move to Real Madrid, but it appears the Spanish giants are now targeting one of his teammates.

As January draws to a close, Liverpool fans will be aware that Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mo Salah have yet to sign new contracts with the club. However, there’s been no official news of any departures, offering some hope for Reds supporters, especially since the trio has had nearly a month to discuss terms with other clubs.

That said, reports suggest that Alexander-Arnold has finalized a deal with Real Madrid, and Liverpool have already lined up his replacement. Meanwhile, sources close to CaughtOffside claim that Real Madrid is also monitoring Ibrahima Konaté, despite Liverpool actively working to secure a contract renewal with the defender.

Liverpool remain hopeful that Konaté and his representatives will reach an agreement to extend his stay. However, Real Madrid is eager to bolster their defense, particularly following Eder Militao’s injury. The Spanish side has reportedly been tracking Konaté as part of their long-term plans, regardless of their success in pursuing Alexander-Arnold.

Konaté’s experience in high-level competitions is a significant factor in Real Madrid’s interest, and their recent heavy loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup has only heightened their determination to strengthen their backline.

Adding to the mix, Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain is also monitoring Konaté’s situation. The defender, who grew up in Paris, might find a return to his hometown appealing. While Konaté’s contract with Liverpool runs until 2026, the player has yet to make a definitive decision about his future.
