"Real Madrid have reportedly informed Liverpool very clearly that they do not plan to make a move to sign Reds centre-back Ibrahima Konate. The France international is nearing the end of his contract at Anfield, with no agreement yet on a new deal meaning he could leave on a free transfer next summer. As reported for CaughtOffside, Liverpool have offered Konate a generous new contract, but the 26-year-old is yet to give a response."
"Although he (Konate) has been considered by Real Madrid, The Athletic can reveal the La Liga side have informed their Premier League counterparts directly and unequivocally that despite such heavy speculation they now have no interest in recruiting the France international. That doesn't mean an end to the transfer saga, however, as it's still not certain if Konate will decide to stay at Liverpool, while our understanding is also that he'll have interest from other big clubs like Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain."
Real Madrid have told Liverpool they will not pursue centre-back Ibrahima Konaté. Konaté's contract at Anfield is nearing its end and no new agreement has been reached, leaving the possibility of a free transfer next summer. Liverpool have offered Konaté a generous new deal, but the 26-year-old has not yet responded. Other major clubs such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are likely to express interest. Konaté has experienced a dip in form, drawing criticism after poor performances in defeats to Nottingham Forest and PSV Eindhoven. Liverpool may consider replacing him rather than risk losing value for free.
