Konaté will now be playing alongside Rüdiger at the Bernabéu. Madrid now has Two centre-backs built like heavyweight boxers with the recovery pace of sprinters. That is definitely one of the most physically dominant defensive partnerships European football has seen in years.
Konaté is 27 and entering his absolute prime. He is six foot four, right footed, aerially dominant and comfortable carrying the ball out from the back under pressure.
At Liverpool he developed into one of the most reliable defenders in the Premier League, consistently performing in the biggest games across domestic and European competition.
The foundations were laid at RB Leipzig and the finishing of course was done at Anfield. The destination was always going to be a club of this size. Madrid.
Real Madrid offered exactly what a player of his calibre and ambition needed at this stage of his career. The Champions League every season, a squad competing for every trophy available and a stage that matches the level he has been performing at for the last three years.
Konate has not made a gamble. This is a player arriving at the right club at the right time in the right moment of his career. Everything about this move makes sense.
I wish him all the best.
