The website "CaughtOffside" reported that Real Madrid, under the leadership of Xabi Alonso, plans to strengthen its squad by targeting the duo Florian Wirtz and Ibrahima Konaté, following the signing of Alexander Arnold, amid the team's inconsistent performance and its lag behind Barcelona in the race for the La Liga title.

Defender Ibrahima Konaté is linked with leaving Liverpool and is expected to become a free agent next summer, as negotiations to renew his contract with the club have stalled, opening the door for Real Madrid to persuade him to join.

As for the German midfielder Wirtz, he joined Liverpool last summer in a major transfer, but he has struggled to adapt to the English Premier League and is looking to regain his previous form.

Alonso, who previously brought out the best in Wirtz at Bayer Leverkusen, hopes to help the player shine again under his leadership at Real Madrid, benefiting from their strong relationship.

Despite Real Madrid's interest, Wirtz's continuation at Liverpool remains the most likely, given the significant investment the club has made in him, while Konaté remains the most realistic target for the deal.
