Liverpool enter new battle with Real Madrid over key defender: report
Briefly

Real Madrid is still focused on enhancing its defense this summer, having already secured Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen. Following a disappointing 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup, Madrid is seeking further reinforcements. Ibrahima Konate, the Liverpool center-back, has emerged as a target. Although Liverpool values him at 50 million, which is reportedly too steep for Madrid, his contract expires next summer, and he is reluctant to extend his stay with the Reds. Madrid might be prepared to wait for a potential free transfer next year.
