Premier League giants Liverpool will have to cash in on France international of Malian descent this summer to avoid losing him for free next year.
The 26-year-old rock-solid defender is in the final year of his contract at Liverpool, sparking concerns about his future at the club.
Konate, who seeking for a new challenge is expected to depart the club at the expiration of his contract in summer 2026.
The Paris FC youth graduate rose to prominence as one of the best centre-backs in Europe, becoming a regular starter for Didier Deschamps’ France national team.
With contract renewal talks hanging in the balance, the defender could leave the club part ways with the club. Per reports, contract talks have taken place, but no breakthrough is in sight.
Konaté is reportedly set on running his contract down and leaving Liverpool next summer. A handful of major European clubs are monitoring Konaté’s situation, including FC Barcelona, PSG and Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, Konaté’s preference would be to join the Los Merengues where he would reunite with former Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold (26), who also ran his contract down to join the Spanish capital.
