On video: from the tears of 2022 to the dream of the Bernabeu: Konate: the first shirt I ever owned was Real's | Goal.com
France's Ibrahima Konate began his career in the Real Madrid shirt with an emotional message to the club's fans, stressing that his move was not merely a transfer but a childhood dream finally coming true.
In his first words after officially signing until 2030, Konate said: "Hello Madridista, I'm very happy to be here, I hope to see you very soon at the Bernabeu, hala Madrid!".
The defender arrives on a free transfer from Liverpool. He added in moving remarks: "The first shirt I ever owned in my life was a Real Madrid one, and from that moment I always dreamt of playing for this team, and today I have achieved my dream. I promise you that I will give everything I have for this shirt".
His unveiling at Real Madrid's training ground produced a striking moment. Konate stood in front of the club's 15 Champions League trophies, contemplating the titles, and lingered for a long time over the 2022 crown.
He spoke candidly about it: "I feel a little emotional, especially about the 2022 title in Paris, because I was playing for Liverpool in that final".
