Massive Ibrahima Konate update shared as contract expiry edges closer | OneFootball

Ibrahima Konate is now 'one step away' from extending his Liverpool contract

Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are both going to exit Anfield on free transfers this summer.

And, if Konate followed suit and left upon the expiry of his contract, it would be hard for Liverpool to replace them all, especially since they won't be getting any fees for them.

Indeed, players such as Marcos Senesi could come in on free transfers but in reality, the Reds will want several world class players so that they can be competitive as possible.

And, fortunately for the club, it seems like their luck has finally turned.

"Ibrahima Konatè is one step away to extend the contract with Liverpool," Schira wrote via his personal X account.

"Last details but all the parties involved in the deal are confident to finalize soon.

"The centre-back has turned down a huge bid from a Saudi Club."

Liverpool may not need another new centre-back this summer after all
