Ibrahima Konate's Real Madrid wage 'leaked' after agreement reached

Ibrahima Konate's wage at Real Madrid has emerged as the Frenchman prepares to sign on a free transfer.

Konate's contract at Liverpool expires on June 30 after he failed to agree fresh terms at Anfield despite being locked in negotiations for an extended period.

Last weekend, in addition to confirming the dismissal of Arne Slot, Liverpool announced that Konate would be departing on a free transfer.

Breaking silence on his exit, Konate said he was "deeply saddened that I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to all of you at the last game".

It quickly emerged courtesy of Fabrizio Romano that the Frenchman had verbally agreed to sign for Real, with a four-year deal on the table if Florentino Perez sees off the challenge of Enrique Riquelme in the presidential election.

Following up, El Desmarque have provided details on what the former RB Leipzig centre-back stands to earn at the Santiago Bernabeu.

According to the report, Konate's deal until 2030 will see him earn €24 million gross per season - which equates to around €460,000-a-week (£400,000-a-week) before tax.

That means his four-year deal is worth a reported £83 million if he remains for the duration.

On top of that, with Konate joining on a free transfer, he is in line to pocket a whopping £17 million in the form of a signing on bonus.

Konate reportedly turned down a huge proposal from Saudi Arabia to sign for Real and is now poised to earn a salary that would not have been on the table at Liverpool, where he was said to be on £150,000-a-week.

Liverpool identify surprise Ibrahima Konate replacement

Fresh from appointing Andoni Iraola as Slot's replacement, Liverpool are in desperate need of reinforcements after the departures of Konate, Andy Robertson and Mo Salah.

But there has been a surprise transfer link, with TEAMtalk reporting that Liverpool are in for Burnley defender Maxime Esteve.

Esteve only joined Burnley last summer for a fee of £10.3 million from Montpellier and the centre-back suffered relegation in his debut campaign.

He made an impression though, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Crystal Palace credited with interest in the Frenchman.

Burnley are resigned to losing Esteve in the summer transfer window and are already eyeing up Middlesbrough captain Dael Fry as the ideal replacement at the heart of their backline.
