Umaru Konare Tounkara (born 10 August 2004) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a forward for Elche CF Ilicitano.

Career

Born in Monforte del Cid, Valencian Community, Konare represented Ilicitano Sporting CF, SCD Intangco and CD Actur Pablo Iglesias as a youth before moving to CF Intercity in 2023.[1] Initially a member of the B-team in the Segona FFCV, he also played with the main squad in Primera Federación during the season.[2]

On 18 July 2024, Konare signed a three-year contract with Elche CF, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda Federación.[3] Sparingly used, he was loaned to fellow fourth division side UD Barbastro on 2 February 2025.[4]

Back to the Franjiverdes in July 2025, Konare started to feature regularly for the B's, and was the top scorer of the main squad in the 2026 pre-season with four goals.[5] He made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 17 August of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute for Fer Niño in a 1–1 away draw against Deportivo de A Coruña,[6][7] and renewed his link until 2030 the following day.[8]
