Premier League giants Liverpool are in danger of losing France international of Malian descent Ibrahima Konate on a free transfer.
Konate’s current contract with Liverpool is expected to run out in the summer of 2026, sparking concerns about his future at the club.
His future at Liverpool is growing increasingly uncertain, having failed to pen a new deal with the Premier League giants. The club are seriously concerned about the risk of losing the tough-tackling defender on a free transfer.
According to reports, talks between Konate and Liverpool over contract extension has proven futile, fueling fears, as the defender will be free to negotiate with other clubs as early as January 2026.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are said to be keeping a close watch on developments, viewing the 25-year-old defender as an appealing target.
Since arriving from Leipzig in 2021, Konaté has established himself as a vital part of Liverpool’s back line. However, his progress has often been hampered by injuries, occasionally affecting his consistency on the pitch. Despite these setbacks, he remains regarded as a key figure in the squad.
