Liverpool Get Brutal Update on Extending PSG, Real Madrid-Linked Star | OneFootball

Ibrahima Konaté is in the final year of his Liverpool contract, and with no extension agreed, his future at Anfield remains uncertain.

Reports indicate that PSG and Real Madrid are closely watching the situation and could make a move if contract talks don’t progress before the January transfer window.

Foot Mercato adds that Konaté has been offered to several top European clubs, including PSG, Real Madrid, and Barcelona. Despite that interest, Liverpool has chosen to keep the defender for now.

The timing adds pressure on Liverpool, as uncertainty over a key player comes just as the club aims to maintain stability during a demanding season.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that extending Konaté’s contract with Liverpool appears to be challenging, with no agreement reached between the club and the player so far.

Fichajes recently reported that Konaté has agreed to a long-term deal with Real Madrid, keeping him at the club until June 2031. The contract follows the same approach Real Madrid used with Trent Alexander-Arnold, who signed under similar terms.

According to the report, Konaté’s decision to leave Anfield is driven by the opportunity for a new challenge. The chance to wear the Real Madrid shirt and compete for every trophy ultimately tipped the scales in the club’s favor over other offers.
