Real Madrid officials have already promised manager Xabi Alonso they will begin their push to sign Liverpool centre back Ibrahima Konaté in January, according to Defensa Central. The plan is to sign him on a free transfer, as was the case with Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Rodrygo could stay at Real Madrid this summer despite Premier League interest, although the club is reportedly open to sell.

Rodrygo’s situation needs a resolution—the Brazil international still has the world at his feet but is lacking game time at Real Madrid.
