Konate is ready to follow in the footsteps of former team-mate Alexander-Arnold, who joined Los Blancos last month on a free transfer.
The current contract between Konate and the Anfield team is valid until June 2026. The two sides have had many negotiations to extend it but have not reached an agreement.
Konate wants a higher basic salary. However, Liverpool propose a performance-based salary, as the French centre-back is prone to injuries.
Because of that disagreement, Konate can stay until the end of his contract and leave Anfield for free. His dream destination is Real Madrid.
The Royal team is no stranger to hunting for free talent, having brought in Mapbbe, David Alaba and Rudiger as free players.
Although Konate can wait until next summer, in the latest move after the end of the FIFA Club World Cup, Real Madrid wants to bring Konate to Bernabeu this summer to strengthen the defense.
They plan to pay Liverpool 25 million euros in transfer fees, because Konate only has one year left on his contract and does not want to sign another.
The Kop's leadership is at a crossroads, accepting the offer from the Spanish team, or losing Konate for free next year.
