Ibrahima Konate's present contract with Liverpool is coming to an end next year, and it looks like Real Madrid is trying to lure him for free, much like his previous teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold. It was also reported that Liverpool was not ready to let him go, but the French International is seeking his way out.

Liverpool had been quite active in this transfer window, but despite having a crisis in the centre back position, it does not look like they are looking forward to getting a centre back, even though there had been links with Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace.

On the other hand, they let Jarell Quansah go, who was one of their most prolific alternate centre backs. Presently, they do not have enough depth in the centre back position, but the transfer window is yet to close, so we can expect them to make some signings before the window closes.

Reports also suggest that Real Madrid are not the only team that are interested in Ibrahima Konate. Real Madrid's biggest rival, Barcelona, are also looking forward to securing the signature of the French international, according to reports from Caughtoffside.

It is also suggested that the defending UEFA Champions League winners, PSG, are also interested to get the 26 year old French International. It is definitely going to be a huge loss if Liverpool let their talisman go. They are definitely negotiating a new deal, and it will not be very easy for anyone to snatch him out of Liverpool.

Some reports also suggest that Ibrahima Konate can still sign a contract extension with Liverpool if things go his way. He is not purposefully looking forward to leaving Liverpool like Trent Alexander Arnold. Moreover, Liverpool also need a centre back, whether they would be able to keep Konate or not, especially after they lost Jarell Quansah.
