Liverpool has already lost Trent Alexander-Arnold for much less than expected, and the same goes with Ibrahima Konate. The French defender is also faced with difficulties with his contractual situation, and the losers should be the Premier League champions.
In recent weeks, Liverpool has been in talks with Konate for a new contract. The 26 -year -old saw his current agreement expiring next summer, which led to a lot of uncertainty about his future in Anfield – especially since Real Madrid wants to reproduce their efforts by Alexander -Arnold by reaching another agreement before the contract.
And at this stage, the chances that it will happen – or at least a forced sale later this summer – increases.
Ibrahima Konate is waiting for Liverpool contract contracts on hold
The Guardian reported that the contractual talks between Konate and Liverpool have stalled in recent days, the defender having been disappointed by the initial offer that had been put on the table.
Liverpool wants to renew Konate for some time, but due to more precarious situations with Virgil Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, the talks have been delayed. And now that they are in progress, it has not started well.
The report revealed that Liverpool’s opening offer in Konate was favored on performance -based bonuses, which were not to the taste of their player. He and his representatives wish to obtain a high base salary.
Liverpool will be subject to high pressure to accept the conditions with Konate before the end of the summer. If they do not do so, a sale could be sought in the last days of the transfer window in order to avoid losing it for free in 2026. It is able to participate in other clubs from January, then what point Real Madrid could make an official movement.
