Does Real Madrid are preparing a surprise for the final sprint of this transfer window? Until recently, the trend in Madrid was rather clear: curly workforce and therefore quoted transfer window. Even if Xabi Alonso demanded reinforcement, Pérez's decision seemed to be made. But in recent days, the trend seems to change a little, and various Spanish weight media have clearly opened the door to one or two arrivals by September 1. In defense in particular.
The name of Ibrahima Konaté, whose contract in Liverpool expires in 2026, thus returns very often in the Pro-Madrid press, while the Merengues could go to the attack in the event that the Reds decide to sell it this summer. It must be said that the tricolor defender does not give the impression of wanting to prolong, and everything indicates that if the Liverpuldians want to recover a check for him, it will be necessary to sell it by the end of the month. Under penalty of seeing him go for free in a year. The Merengues would be ready to make an effort in the event that the English are not too greedy.
Proposal refused … for the moment
The name William Saliba also returns very regularly, and it is even the number 1 option. Only, his contractual situation – his lease at Arsenal expires in 2027 – makes an operation in the short term a little more complicated. And he does not necessarily seem in a hurry to leave unlike his compatriot. But as various Spanish media indicate as SportReal Madrid offered an exchange at the Gunners. Rodrygo would be sent to London, and the tricolor defender would make the opposite path. A proposal refused for the moment by Arsenal.
Arsenal clearly does not plan to separate from Saliba, considered as a defensive pillar and a long -term promise of the club, despite the Madrid interest. Even if Mikel Arteta greatly appreciates the Brazilian striker, who may have to settle for a place of replacement if he remains in Madrid. As a reminder, Manchester City is also instantly. Business to follow …
