Liverpool, the Premier League champion, fears the repetition of the scenario of its former player Alexander Trent Arnold, who moved to Real Madrid in a free transfer deal, with another distinguished player, defender Etihadima Conte.
The current contract for Contei with Liverpool ends next summer, which requires the Reds management to move quickly in order to find a solution to this file, by extending the contract or selling the player in the current summer transfer market in order not to lose it for free next summer.
The Spanish newspaper “Marca” said that the French defender has the last word whether he wants to move to Real Madrid, and for this he must choose between two ways, either repeating the case of Arnold or Canadian Alfonso Davis, Bayern Munich player, who ultimately decided to renew the Bavarian giant.

She explained that if he decides to fulfill his desire to move to Real Madrid, he must not extend to Liverpool, and wait until the end of the next season 2025-2026, which coincides with the end of his current contract with the Reds, and joining the Royal Club after that.
Konati is among the Real Madrid contractual goals in the long run, especially since the administration headed by Florentino Perez is watching a long list of players whose contracts end on June 30, 2026, after which those who are considered suitable for the “Meringue” style are determined with the aim of paving the road and starting possible negotiations starting next January.
The newspaper confirmed that Konati is going to date in the footsteps of his former colleague Arnold, where he refused two offers to renew his contract with Liverpool, which means that all evidence indicates that the French defender tends to leave the Anfield stadium towards Real Madrid.
Because of this, unlike Arnold’s case, Liverpool tends to sell Konati because he did not want to repeat the scenario of a player for free or for a small sum of money.
The newspaper commented on this by saying, “The reaction of Liverpool is a kind of anxiety that the English club feels, which may accelerate the transfer of Konati’s transfer, which settled his choice by wearing the Real Madrid shirt, which means that the efforts made by the sports club in the royal club may bear fruit.”
And you see that the capabilities of Konati are appropriate for the current needs of Real Madrid, amid doubts about the physical condition of some players, and that if the French will help the French Orlene Chaamini to return to his original center in the midfield permanently.
