While they are focused on signing Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool, whose contract is set to expire at the end of the current season, they are also looking at other potential targets.

One of these alternatives is Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, whose contract also expires at the end of the season.

Interestingly, Liverpool is also interested in Guehi, but Real Madrid may have an advantage in the pursuit of the defender.

As Guehi's contract allows him to negotiate with foreign clubs from January 1, Real Madrid may be able to secure his signature before the end of the season.
