It’s a saga that should never have happened. And yet… behind the scenes at Real Madrid, a new tension is rising. According to our information, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Xabi Alonso – both influential in their respective spheres – have deliberately put pressure on Florentino Pérez to trigger an unexpected move: the recruitment of Ibrahima Konaté.
Yes, you read that right. Liverpool’s central defender, the silent but feared pillar of Slot’s defense, has reportedly become a secret obsession of Real Madrid, to the point that the Madrid leaders are preparing to strike a blow as spectacular as it is unexpected.
Xabi Alonso’s Persuasion and Trent’s Insight
Xabi Alonso’s call that changed everything It all started with a private call from Xabi Alonso to the Madrid management. The former Bernabéu darling, now Europe’s most sought-after coach, reportedly told Pérez:
“If there’s one player who can stabilize your rearguard for 10 years, it’s Konaté. Don’t wait for City or Bayern to make a move. Go now.”
Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was close to Konaté in the Liverpool dressing room, is said to have played an equally strategic role. Several sources claim that he confided to a close friend:
“I know Ibra dreams of Spain. He wants to be respected like a boss. In Liverpool, he feels like he’s staying in the shadows.”
Liverpool’s Stance and Konaté’s Surprise Reaction
Liverpool ready to sell him… but not at any price According to sources inside Anfield, Liverpool could open the door if they receive an offer exceeding €50 million. The problem? Konaté never officially asked to leave. But everything changed during a tense training session, where a heated exchange reportedly broke out between the player and a member of staff, suggesting he was “fed up with promises without follow-up.”
Real Madrid, sensing an opportunity, immediately sent emissaries to London to sound out the player’s entourage.
What Konaté did surprised everyone… But what really sparked the fire was Konaté’s own reaction. During a closed-door interview for a French broadcast, the defender reportedly blurted out:
“Respect can’t be bought, but sometimes it can be found elsewhere. The Spanish sun speaks to me more than the English rain.”
Since that statement, social media has been in a frenzy. Real Madrid fans are already calling him “the new Ramos,” while Liverpool supporters are crying foul. Trent, for his part, has remained silent… but did like an Instagram post showing Konaté in a montage wearing a Real Madrid shirt.
The Bernabéu Prepares for a Blockbuster Move
The Bernabéu is ready Behind the scenes, everything is ready. A 5-year contract, a progressive salary, and the number 6 left vacant since Nacho’s departure. All that’s missing is a green light. And a bombshell. Because if Konaté joins Madrid, the market could suddenly change, and Liverpool would be forced into a mad rush to rebuild.
