It was reported earlier that Real Madrid had been a fond admirer of Ibrahima Konate, and they wanted to get him for free next season as his present Liverpool contract is coming to an end by the end of 2026. He signed a contract with Liverpool in 2021, and he has been quite impressive for the Reds as long as he joined the club.
Real Madrid took away Trent Alexander-Arnold, who had been one of Liverpool's most important players, just before the previous summer transfer window for almost free. They wanted to repeat the same thing by getting Konate in the same fashion. Konate was also reportedly looking forward to this move, and he was not extending his Liverpool contract.
Real Mad
rid renew interest in Ibrahima Konate
But his recent performance for Liverpool had been quite disappointing, much like the whole team. Liverpool expertly started the campaign as they bagged back to back victories in all competitions, but things started to go downhill after they lost to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
PSG are also reportedly interested in Ibrahima Konate
Ibrahima Konate's performance for Liverpool had been quite disappointing for the new season, and latest reports from multiple sources suggested that Real Madrid were not interested in the French International anymore. However, reports also suggest that PSG remained interested in the 25 year old.
Liverpool are trying desperately to extend his present contract
But Konate's performance improved in the recent games, and he stood like a talisman in the defence of Liverpool. His club remained undefeated in the last 5 games in all competitions, and the French International had been quite impressive in all of these matches. He also remains a regular in the Liverpool football team. Recent reports from Caughtoffside suggest that Real Madrid renew interest in the French International keeping an eye on his recent performance.
The defending UEFA Champions League winners PSG are also interested in signing Ibrahima Konate, and if Liverpool fail to extend his contract, it is going to be an exciting duel between PSG and Real Madrid for the 25 year old. But Liverpool are also reportedly hopeful of extending his contract. Reports are suggesting that Konate is demanding a wage of 350k to stay at Liverpool.
