French international Ibrahima Konaté is preparing to move to Spain. The centre-back will join Real Madrid after leaving Liverpool at the end of his current deal.
The 27-year-old could not reach an agreement on a contract extension with the Premier League side. Talks broke down despite earlier positive signs. He will now depart Anfield as a free agent.
According to reports from Onze Mondial, Konaté has already settled personal terms with the La Liga giants. However, the club must wait before announcing the deal. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez faces re-election this Sunday. The transfer can only proceed after he secures victory.
Konaté has already played his last game for Liverpool. He is now focusing on international duty. The defender is training with France ahead of this summer’s FIFA World Cup.
