Ibrahima Konate now wants to leave Liverpool, being offered to top clubs and keen on Real Madrid | OneFootball

Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate is ready to leave the Anfield club this summer as talks over a contract extension continue to stall, according to German outlet Fussball Transfers.

The Reds star has been offered to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain by his representatives, but he prefers to join Los Blancos.

Konate is out of contract in 2026, and he is unwilling to sign a new deal.

The Merseyside club lost Trent Alexander-Arnold to Madrid at the end of last season and will be desperate to avoid a repeat next year.

Konate has established himself as a regular alongside Virgil van Dijk in the heart of the Liverpool defence, and losing him would be a huge blow for manager Arne Slot.

The France international joined the Reds from RB Leipzig in 2021, and he has since made 132 appearances for the club.

Liverpool have reportedly sold English centre-back Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen in a £34 million deal.

The move will be made official after the ongoing European Under-21 championship, and losing Konate as well is the last thing the clubs want.

Liverpool could be left with no choice but to sell Konate in the coming weeks if it becomes clear he is unwilling to agree to a new deal.

The Reds are eager to mount a strong defence of the Premier League title next season and cannot afford to lose a key member of their team.
