Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool), William Saliba (Arsenal)
April 2025
Real Madrid are prioritizing the signing of a centre-back this summer and are monitoring Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté and Arsenal’s William Saliba, per Marca. Both players’ contract situations could open the door to negotiations.
Konaté, 25, is a target if he doesn’t extend at Anfield, while Saliba, 24, remains a long-standing interest. Madrid are looking to add depth and youth to their defense, potentially capitalizing on expiring or unsettled contracts.
