Liverpool get new CHALLENGE in Ibrahima Konate contract fight | OneFootball

Barca and PSG join Konate race

Konate is reported to have turned down multiple offers to sign a new deal already and his estimated desired salary is around £200k per week.

Whether Liverpool manage to offer that amount to Konate remains to be seen but it looks like he won’t be short of suitors should he decide to up sticks next summer.

Real Madrid’s interest is well known by this stage as Xabi Alonso plans a defensive overhaul. And according to a new report from Fichajes, it appears that Barcelona will be competing for Konate too.

Konate "very attractive" for PSG

Given his status as a free transfer, a low-cost option is likely to appeal to the hard-up Catalans. But there is another threat being presented in the shape of Paris Saint-Germain.

Anfield Watch first detailed the Champions League holders’ plans to repatriate Konate ahead of the summer transfer window. Although the stopper ultimately stayed put, it’s now been put forward that PSG will be back to sign him on a free.

“The potential to bring him in for free is very attractive to them, especially to bolster their defense with immediate performance,” the report reads.
