Inter Milan are considering making a move for Ibrahima Konate ahead of next summer, following Real Madrid’s decision to back out of the race.

According to Inter Live, Ibrahima Konate’s unresolved future continued to attract plenty of attention in the market. Inter Milan are the latest to consider a move for the French defender, and there could be a big chance for the Nerazzurri, especially after Real Madrid backed away from the chase.

Ibrahima Konate’s unresolved future is a big talking point around the corridors of Liverpool as well as in the market. The French international is a high-profile player currently leaning towards being available on a Bosman deal next summer, although he could still stay at Liverpool.

Real Madrid were seen as the big contender for his signature, as widespread reports stated the defender was convinced of making the switch. However, the Spanish giants have since ruled out a move and informed Liverpool of their decision, which has opened new market possibilities for other sides as well as the Reds. Real Madrid are looking at other options, including Marc Guehi and Dayot Upamecano.

Liverpool are now optimistic about agreeing on a new deal with Ibrahima Konate following Real Madrid’s decision. However, that has also opened the possibilities for other teams to get into the race. Hence, the Frenchman, who joined Liverpool in a £36 million deal back from RB Leipzig in 2021, could still leave Anfield if a solid offer arrives on his table.

Inter Milan are now a contender for the £36 million Liverpool star’s signature, as the Nerazzuri are always tempted to sign top-quality free agents. The presence of Real Madrid may have deterred the Italians from registering an interest. However, with the Spanish giants now out of the picture, a door could open up for the Serie A giants.

Could Inter Milan sign Ibrahima Konate?

Inter Milan had previously eyed a move for Upamecano, with the Bayern Munich defender also leaning towards free agency. However, the Frenchman’s salary demands make any deal difficult for the Nerazzurri, which could see them jump into the race for Konate.

With Liverpool yet to agree on a new deal with Ibrahima Konate, the France international could study what the Nerazzurri have to offer. Inter Milan could consider making a sizeable contract proposal, especially without the need to pay a big transfer fee for the defender.
