The deal is understood to be subject to approval following the potential re-election of club president Florentino Pérez.

Sources indicate that formal signing procedures are expected to follow once internal club processes are completed.

Konaté is said to have turned down interest from Saudi Arabian clubs in favour of a move to the Spanish giants.

The French international has been a key defensive figure for Liverpool in recent seasons, attracting interest from top European clubs due to his consistency and physical presence.

Real Madrid’s pursuit of the defender reflects the club’s continued strategy of strengthening its backline with top-level international talent.

If completed, the transfer would mark one of the most high-profile defensive moves of the summer window, adding further depth to Madrid’s squad ahead of the new season.
