Liverpool Issue Powerful Message to PSG, Real Madrid-Linked Star | OneFootball

Ibrahima Konaté is heading into the final year of his Liverpool contract, and with no extension agreed upon, speculation about his future at Anfield is mounting, especially with PSG closely monitoring the situation.

Foot Mercato reported that several top European clubs, including PSG, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, have shown interest in Konaté. Last summer, Liverpool chose to keep him rather than entertain potential offers.

More recently, Foot Mercato’s Santi Aouna highlighted that Konaté is no longer a top target for Real Madrid, who are now prioritizing Dayot Upamecano, with a verbal deal reportedly in place. Despite that, PSG remains interested, and Konaté still has the option of a contract extension with Liverpool.

CaughtOffside reports that Liverpool have issued Ibrahima Konaté a final ultimatum: accept their latest contract offer or leave during the January transfer window.

Moreover, the outlet reveals that Liverpool are unwilling to let the situation drag on and are prepared to sell Konaté, targeting Marc Guehi as his potential replacement this month.

If he rejects this offer, Liverpool does not plan to present any further proposals, as they believe this deal would make him one of their top earners. Recently, a report from L’Équipe confirmed that Liverpool have put forward a new contract offer to Konaté for the third time.

The club remains confident that it can persuade the France international to sign a new deal. Even with Konaté’s uneven start to the season, Liverpool’s executives are taking the necessary steps to secure his future at the club.
