Ibrahima Konate poised to depart Liverpool on a free transfer following unsuccessful contract negotiations

Considered among the finest in his role globally, Konate has drawn attention for several months. Yet his future appeared assured with a new deal at the Reds, the club he has represented since 2021.

However, according to multiple British media reports, talks have collapsed between Liverpool and their defensive cornerstone.

Konate favours a switch to LaLiga

This news is corroborated by Flashscore France. Neither side managed to settle on a new contract, with the French international presently contracted to the Merseyside outfit until 30 June 2026. Consequently, he is at liberty to negotiate with any club for the 2026/27 campaign.

Continuing to excel at the top echelon of European football and now possessing substantial experience from his five year spell in England, Konate is likely to have many suitors.

Based on our sources, LaLiga is his preferred choice. Nonetheless, he has not discounted the Premier League, where he is still well regarded, nor PSG, the team from his native city.
