Following the confirmation of an agreement with Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has also revealed a deal with Ibrahima Konate. However, this hinges on the current 'Los Blancos' chief being re-elected in the upcoming elections at the end of the week (June 7). Should Perez secure another term, Konate would join as a free agent after his contract with Liverpool expires.
“If I am elected president, Konate will be my first signing and will play for Real Madrid,” Perez stated in an interview with “AS.”
On Wednesday evening, during the program “El Hormiguero,” the president also announced Mourinho's return as head coach. Additionally, the transfer of Denzel Dumfries from Inter is expected to be finalized.
Florentino Perez is considered the overwhelming favorite in the elections, with Enrique Riquelme being his sole challenger. Riquelme, for his part, has already declared that if he wins the vote, he will bring Rodri from Manchester City.
