Real Madrid has outlined an ambitious roadmap to secure its central defense in the coming years, and the chosen names leave no room for doubt: William Saliba and Ibrahima Konaté are the chosen ones. The white club is willing to invest up to 150 million euros to ensure the arrival of both French defenders, with the aim of consolidating a three-center backline that is already taking shape with Dean Huijsen as the cornerstone of the new defensive project.

The Madrid board considers Konaté a feasible addition as his contract with Liverpool ends in 2026, with no clear signs of renewal. This opens up two possible paths: making an offer of around 50 million euros this summer or waiting until the end of his contract to secure his arrival as a free agent. The powerful and fast center-back fits perfectly into Xabi Alonso's system, who values his anticipation and clean passing.

William Saliba, Florentino Pérez's great desire

On the other hand, William Saliba's case presents greater obstacles. With a contract with Arsenal until 2027, his signing would require a multimillion-dollar operation close to 100 million euros. Despite the cost, Saliba remains a priority for Florentino Pérez, who considers the Arsenal defender a key piece to complete an elite defense alongside Huijsen and Konaté.

The tactical idea is clear: a system with three center-backs, Alexander-Arnold and Álvaro Carreras as wing-backs, and a defense with hierarchy and projection. Real Madrid seeks to anticipate the future, build from the back, and surround its team with youth, physicality, and quality. The plan is in motion.
