Expected to extend his stay at Liverpool, French central defender Ibrahima Konate is now unlikely to do so. He is free to sign with any club he chooses for the 2026/27 season.
Regarded as one of the best players in the world in his position, Konate has been attracting interest for many months now. However, his future seemed secure with a contract extension at the Reds, where he has played since 2021.
Nevertheless, according to several sources in the British media, negotiations have broken down between Liverpool and their defensive mainstay. Both parties failed to reach an agreement on a new contract, while the French international is currently tied to the Merseyside club until June 30, 2026. This means he is free to sign wherever he wants for the 2026/27 season.
Still performing at the highest European level and now boasting significant experience from his five years in England, Konate should have plenty of options.
According to information, he favours LaLiga as his preferred destination. However, he is not ruling out the Premier League, where he remains highly rated, or PSG, the club from his hometown.
