Konate is about to enter the final year of his contract with the Anfield team. Although the two sides have had negotiations to extend it, the French midfielder has not signed a new contract.
This has attracted the attention of Real Madrid's board - who often look for quality players whose contracts are about to expire to avoid paying high transfer fees.
In recent years, the above approach has helped Real acquire Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain, Antonio Rudiger (Chelsea) and David Alaba (Bayern Munich), when the above trio's contracts with their home clubs expired.
Konate has been offered a new contract by Liverpool but appears to be unhappy over his wages, fuelling speculation about his future.
According to Marca, the big boss at Anfield is worried about the prospect of a repeat of the Alexander-Arnold case, when the player joined Los Blancos without receiving a single transfer fee.
Center back Konate will turn 27 at the end of next season, the peak of his career. So it is understandable that he has attracted the attention of many big clubs.
Last season, the French international played 42 matches for Liverpool, scoring two goals and helping The Kop win the Premier League.
Remember, in 2021, Liverpool spent 36 million pounds to welcome Konate from RB Leipzig. After a difficult first period due to injuries, he gradually asserted his ability and became a good partner with Van Dijk.
