Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has now rejected a third contract offer from the club.
The 26-year-old French international will be out of contract at the end of the season, and Liverpool have not been able to agree on a new deal with him. Despite submitting multiple offers, the player has not agreed to commit his long-term future to the club.
As per Marca, the player has now turned down a third offer from the club to renew his deal.
Ibrahima Konate to leave for free?
It seems that the player could now move on as a free agent in the summer. He has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, and it will be interesting to see if he moves to La Liga in the coming months.
Losing the player on a free transfer would be a devastating blow for the Premier League champions. They have recently lost Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid on a free transfer, and it seems that the French International could join his former teammate at the Spanish club soon.
Konate has been a key player
Konate has been an important player for Liverpool since joining the club, and his exit will weaken them. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can replace him properly. They were heavily linked with Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace during the summer transfer window, but they failed to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they decide to return for the England international in January.
Konate is at the peak of his career, and he will look to join a big club where he will be able to win major trophies. Real Madrid will be able to provide him with that opportunity. They are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world, and the opportunity to join them can be quite tempting for most players.
“he will look to join a big club where he will be able to win major trophies”
Are you sniffing glue where do you think he is now.
KONATE will drag out talks with LFC then head to Madrid, it makes sense to sell him ASAP in January and put feelers out for a replacement, KEEP PLAYERS WHO ONLY WANT THE SHIRT.YNWA
Konate will suffer the same fate as Alexander Arnold. Real Madrid only want him because of the free transfer. He needs to realise where his loyalties should lie. If they had to pay his true value they would not even consider buying him. If he wants to warm their bench, good luck to him.
Konate is not a loyal player. Sell him January. If he refuses, relegate him to the junior team and let him warm the bench. We will not tolerate that nonsense Trent did. Let him loose his spot at the world cup. It’s very simple.
LFC have been aware of the situation with Konate. That’s why it was imperative to sign Marc Guehi, so why haggle over £5M? Not many players turn down Real Madrid. Konate is doing the same thing as Trent accept it deal with it and moving on. There are better defenders out there that want to play for the club. Find them sign them. Stop haggling get the deal done.
start to play Leoni along Van Dick to gain PL experience and benched Konate and gradually let him rot !
I honestly think he will be replaced quite easily, put him in an average side and he will get caught out week after week, I hope he goes asap and replaced with a young solid British defender
