Ibrahima Konate had been one of the most impressive defenders of the Premier League in recent years, and his game even flourished more after joining Liverpool in 2021. For the last 4 years, he has been one of the best players of Liverpool, but it looks like he does not want to stay with the Reds anymore.
It had been reported that Liverpool wanted to extend his present contract, which ends in 2026, but the French International is determined not to extend the contract. Real Madrid are pushing hard to sign him as a free agent next season, much like they signed Trent Alexander-Arnold for free this season.
Real Madrid and PSG both want Ibrahima Konate
Ibrahima Konate can also leave Liverpool for free to the same destination. However, reports suggest that Liverpool will not mind the French International leaving this season, as they can earn some money in exchange if they manage to send him this season. The defending UEFA Champions League winners, PSG, are reported to be interested in signing in this season.
Real Madrid wanted to sign Ibrahima Konate for free next season
Liverpool have already secured the signature of Giovanni Leoni from Parma, and it is believed that the Italian defender will be given the chance to play for Liverpool this season. The English International Marc Guehi is also reportedly a matter of interest for Liverpool, whose contract is also coming to an end next season, and the Reds can get him for a cheaper price.
PSG are also interested in the French International right now
Liverpool skipper Virgil Van Dijk is already a legend of the side who has been taking control of Liverpool defence for the last 7 seasons, and Ibrahima Konate became an excellent partner of the Dutch International. It is definitely not going to be very easy for Liverpool to replace the French International if he is determined to leave the side.
But football does not wait for anyone; no football club ever did. Liverpool can also live without Konate, and if they get to secure the signature of Guehi as they are plotting right now, things will not be very difficult for the defending Premier League champions. Now the real question remains, will PSG be able to hijack the 26 year old?
