According to Spanish outlet El Chiringuito, Konate has become a free agent after his contract with Liverpool expired, and he has publicly said farewell. He is asking Real Madrid for a €20 million signing bonus and a four-year contract with an annual net salary of €12 million.
Eduardo Inda revealed this information on El Chiringuito's weekly program. Inda said: "This move is somewhat similar to when Alaba joined Real Madrid. Konate wants a €20 million signing bonus and a salary similar to Alaba's, which is approximately €12 million net per season. I think this deal represents very good value."
