Rodrygo is being heavily linked with a move away from Real Madrid this summer, which could interest Liverpool after the Reds came close to his signing as a youngster

Real Madrid have secured an agreement with Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate as they look to get the signing over the line, according to reports.

Ibrahima Konate, into the final year of his contract, has already told Liverpool that he is open to a departure this summer, so long as Real Madrid sign him.

The Liverpool centre-back has been on Madrid’s radar for some time and is now seen as a viable target following his refusal to extend his contract at Anfield, which expires next year. Spanish outlet AS reports that Madrid are seriously considering a move for Konate.
