He joins Bernardo Silva and Marc Cucurella as Jose Mourinho’s first signings since returning for a second spell in charge at the Bernabeu.

Konate joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig in 2021 in a £35 million move. During his five-year spell, he made 183 appearances and helped the Reds win the Premier League, FA Cup and two League Cups.

The France international, currently with his national team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, had earlier expressed disappointment at not getting the opportunity to say goodbye to Liverpool supporters during the club’s final home league game of last season.

Konate becomes one of Real Madrid’s latest additions this summer as the Spanish giants continue rebuilding under returning manager José Mourinho.
