Ibrahima Konate's Liverpool contract is set to expire at the end of the campaign, making him free to join any club on July 1, according to multiple reports. Liverpool have made several concerted efforts to sort out Ibrahima Konate's future, with negotiations ongoing. Real Madrid had posted an interest in Ibrahima Konate earlier in the season, but that seems to have cooled, multiple reports indicate.
On the field, Ibrahima Konate gave a journalist his match-worn shirt as a gesture of gratitude for some dates after a match at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, and Arne Slot said Ibrahima Konate was 'too much at the crime scene' after a 3-3 draw at Leeds United. Mohamed Salah dropped his bombshell that the club had thrown him 'under the bus' five minutes after Arne Slot's quotes about Ibrahima Konate, according to multiple reports. Whether Ibrahima Konate will sign a new contract with Liverpool or leave on a free transfer in July is still undetermined.
We are in talks with him so that tells you what we want. It’s clear we would like him to stay but negotiations are ongoing so let’s see where that ends. We wouldn’t be in negotiations if we didn’t want him to stay.
