Konate's move to Real Madrid would reunite him with Trent Alexander-Arnold, a player who has struggled since joining the club last summer. Konate has previously expressed interest in joining Paris Saint-Germain, his boyhood club, but no offer has been made by the European champions.

Before leaving Liverpool, Konate thanked the fans for their support and expressed his gratitude for the time he spent at the club. He also revealed that it was time for him to move on to a new challenge and a new chapter in his career.

Konate's decision to leave Liverpool comes after he put Saudi Arabian club bids on hold to consider an offer from Real Madrid.

Konate's future is now focused on joining Real Madrid, and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to adapt to the Spanish club's style of play.

Real Madrid is expected to make an official announcement about Konate's signing in the coming months.
