June 18 : Real Madrid have signed France defender Ibrahima Konate on a free transfer, the LaLiga club said on Thursday, securing the centre back on a deal until June 2030.
The 27-year-old, currently at the World Cup with France, joins from Liverpool after failing to agree a contract extension to remain at Anfield.
He becomes one of Jose Mourinho’s first signings since returning for a second spell in charge, alongside Bernardo Silva and Marc Cucurella.
Konate spent five seasons at Liverpool after joining from RB Leipzig in 2021, making 183 appearances and playing a key role in their Premier League title-winning campaign in 2024-25, where he formed a strong partnership with captain Virgil van Dijk.
During his time at the club, he also won two League Cups and the FA Cup, and finished runner-up in the Champions League in 2022.
