AS have dropped a bombshell today suggesting that Real Madrid are not fully convinced by Ibrahima Konaté as a transfer target. While MARCA and José Félix Díaz have been pushing the line that Madrid are advanced in talks for the Liverpool defender, AS paint a different picture — saying Konaté “convinces less in sporting terms” compared to Arsenal’s William Saliba.
In this video I break down the AS article, explain why this matters, and look at the growing contrast between Madrid-friendly MARCA and AS when it comes to reporting transfer stories. Could this be a sign that Konaté to Madrid isn’t as nailed on as many believe? Let’s get into it.

Another well balanced video Dunc. We appreciate your work and your depth of knowledge.
I heard RM are also interested in Van der Ven from Spurs?
Keep doing what you do Dunc absolutely amazing content bro, and I still love the traitor Trent section and I can’t see Ibu being real’s cup of tee, especially as Trent seems to be having a complete mare keep on doing you bro 🙌🏻
I hate some of these comments. People forget what he did before just because 2 games. I don't know why they call themself a fan if they cannot respect all players who wear the badge.
Keep going my friend. I may not comment often but I do look forward to your vids
With most of the recent ‘scalping’ of our biggest stars coming from Spain, you are the only commentator I know of that gives the Spanish side. Don’t stop.
Good afternoon Duncan!
Great article, they seem to want to buy a quality player that's approaching end of contract, regardless of whether they may not be a perfect fit or a perfect marketable player….shirts etc. Just to stop a rival club from buying him….bit like City do lol.
Maybe Ibu will do a U-TURN?
Thumbs Up, and a comment 😂 boom!
Another great vid
Thanks for what you do!
😂😂 MO SALAH !!!!😂😂😂
To me, doesn't matter what propaganda is coming out of the Madrid press.
Hughes and co has pretty much telegraph the club's intentions.
They are prepared for life without Konate.
You do not make an offer to Palace without an agreement with Guehi.
Ideally, they hope Parrish/Palace come to their senses and take the 15-20MM in Jan.
That will allow Hughes & co the option to let Konate leave for Madrid.
They won’t care if they get him for free but see what you mean they won’t pay for him.
Is Madrid not obligated to fully honor the deal when they convince players to see out their contract?If they changed their mind and stop interest in a player , won't that scare away future prospects who they'd want to entangle in the same scam?
hes not the guy for the but saliba😮💨go all in, unsettle, hes the guy
Alright Dunk.. I’ve commented on a couple of vids recently but when I checked back they were not listed.. don’t know why mate but I might not be alone in experiencing this.. just wanted to let you know(I hope this one gets through 🤞)
Many thanks. Always great analysis.
Keep up the great work Dunk.
As a player, I’d think you’d want to be where you are wanted and loved by the fans. The money difference can’t be that broad, is it?? Don’t these modern players take that into consideration?!?
Loving the Spanish daily’s recap and the Traitor Trent segments. Quality content Dunc, the mainstream blogs and sites are a load of old tripe (to put it politely). Keep up the good work mate 👍
If I could afford to do it, I would certainly buy a membership. Short of that, I'm more than happy to leave a comment. As ever, you are my favorite source of all things LFC, so I will always encourage you to continue with your honest work. Have a great weekend, mate! 😃
Thanks for the update Dunk… ❤❤
Maybe this is the reason he starting to play well lol
I’m not always convinced by Konate either tbf
I've been a bit down on ibou, for a while now the only thing is as he has gained more experience he's got more solid, still don't think he knows what he should at this stage, but he is going to upset some of the fans when he leaves on a free. I'm going to say it again "Mamadou Sakko"
I hope RM continues to scrape the bottom of our barrel for us. Now do you think they'd be interested in some part worn football boots.😂😂😂
Keep it up Dunk your the man
Real are just playing a game, I am just curious as to why they keep going for free transfers, are they running out of money???
Dunc, do you think Madrid could be struggling if they fail to win the League and or Champions league?
Even if Madrid no longer want him Konate needs to go now anyway. He’s shown his true colours and they’re not red!
Dont think konate is worth a large pay increase. He can be replaced
So apparently Konaté and Trent have found new jobs.
Digging trenches on the Liverpool and Madrid ring roads.
Turns out it’s the first time they’ve managed to cover their positions properly! Boom! Boom!
Love your content keep going dunk
Thanks Dunk, doing what you do best, analysing the spanish media and laying it out for us.
Interesting. Thanks Dunk. ❤
Thanks Dunc
Great insight
