Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso took a step for two stars of the Premier League before the season, it said.
Alonso is preparing for his first league campaign in Los Blancos, after letting Bayer Leverkusen to take care of the Liga giants before the club World Cup of last month.
Real hopes to have a better campaign than the previous one, when they failed to win a big Argentia after being eliminated at the stadium in the quarterfinals of the Champions League and to finish the finalists of the League and Copa Del Rey.
About BrandReal is looking to move around three players from the team this summer – Rodrygo, Dani CEBALLOS and FRAN GARCIA.
If they unload the trio, the Spanish publication allegedly alleged that the 15 European champions turn to the signing of a new central defender.
The real ones are eager to sign the center of Liverpool Center Ibrahima Konate, given the French International contract expired in June 2026.
Marca alleged that the Liga giants “had already done the necessary work” to acquire the defender next summer, in a way similar to the way they signed Trent Alexander-Arnold of Reds this summer.
However, the reals would increase to take a step now or wait for the end of the next campaign.
Meanwhile, the Spanish part would also be interested in William Saliba, with the interest in the Arsenal star who did not depend if the real can ensure a movement for Konate.
However, the signing of Saliba would be “huge, complicated and expensive” since the player has two years on his contract in northern London.
Of course, Arsenal will be eager to keep the central defender of France, the largely reported club would have entered into contact with the player.
Indeed, in March, Saliba said: “I am really happy here. I have been here for two and a half years too. There is nothing. I am happy here and I want to continue here.”
