Ibrahima Konate's Liverpool exit may have been expected but, that doesn't mean that it hurts any less.
It's now been two seasons on the bounce where Liverpool have lost two of their regular starters to Real Madrid on free transfers.
During the 2025-26 season, the La Liga giants managed to prise Trent Alexander-Arnold away from his boyhood club and now, Konate has followed suit.
Indeed, talks between the Frenchman and Liverpool were ongoing over the last 18 months but, for one reason or another, the two parties just couldn't reach an agreement.
This has now left Liverpool with a gaping hole in their defence and, even though some people believe the gap can be filled by Jeremy Jacquet, it's still unclear whether the young Frenchman will be able to hold his own in the Premier League or not.
