Real Madrid have reportedly reached an agreement to sign former Liverpool player Ibrahima Konate on a free transfer.Â
The defender will be a free agent after his contract with the Reds expires at the end of this month.
The France international had been in talks with the club over a possible extension, but the two sides could not come to an agreement.
Real Madrid ‘agree’ deal to sign former Liverpool star Ibrahima Konate
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have a “verbal agreement in place” with Konate.
The centre-back will sign a four-year contract with Los Blancos, provided Florentino Perez wins his bid to be re-elected as the club’s president.
Konate had offers on the table from the Saudi Pro League, but he was holding out hope that Real would come in for him.
The Spanish giants were linked with the 27-year-old last year, but coolled their interest in the player after he suffered a dip in form in the first half of the season.
