Ibrahima Konate is poised to become Liverpool’s next big contract story, with the Reds ramping up efforts to lock in the towering defender following Mohamed Salah’s recent two-year extension.
The French center-back, a key player in Arne Slot’s squad, has formed a formidable partnership with Virgil van Dijk, helping solidify Liverpool’s backline this season. With his current deal running until 2026, the club is keen to secure his future as they gear up for another Premier League title chase and a deeper Champions League run.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Reds are in negotiations with the French international, whose current contract expires in the summer of 2026.
While Salah’s deal was confirmed on Friday, Romano reports that Konate could be the next player to sign a new contract. With some key players set to leave, tying down players like Konate is a priority for Arne Slot.
Liverpool’s focus on Konate signals their intent to build a robust foundation for the challenges ahead.
