Liverpool have been unable to agree new contract terms with Ibrahima Konate, whose current deal expires next month. Negotiations have continued for a long period, with reports shifting between an imminent exit and a contract being close to completion. With the season now over, the outcome appears to be Konate departing Anfield. Konate has previously been linked with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, and also with Paris Saint-Germain. Bayern interest has been tied to Dayot Upamecano leaving, which is not expected to happen. Real Madrid and PSG remain plausible destinations as Konate considers his next move. He will be the fourth senior Liverpool free-agent departure recently, following Trent Alexander-Arnold, with Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson also set to leave.
"Liverpool have been unable to reach an agreement with Ibrahima Konate over a new contract, and the defender will therefore leave the club as a free agent, as his current deal expires."
"The negotiations between the Merseyside club and the French defender have been long, with reports repeatedly changing the narrative from his exit being very close, to a new contract being signed even closer. However, with the season now over, it seems the decision has been made for Konate to depart from Anfield."
"The France international has been linked with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the past, as well as Paris Saint-Germain. But while Bayern were said to only want him in case Dayot Upamecano leaves - which will not happen - Real and PSG remain genuine possibilities when it comes to Konate contemplating his destination this summer."
"Konate will be the fourth senior player to leave Liverpool as a free agent in the last, with Trent Alexander-Arnold joining Real Madrid last summer, and Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson set to depart this summer too."
