Liverpool ready to receive irresistible €40m offer for contract rebel | OneFootball

Could Liverpool sell Konate in January?

But there remains the possibility of Konate signing a new contract - although Liverpool would like an indication sooner rather than later over that.

Otherwise Hughes and head coach Arne Slot would do well to consider SELLING the France international in January.

Making as much money back as possible on the stopper would ensure they don’t suffer a financial loss on Konate - who joined from RB Leipzig back in 2021 for €35m.

Incredibly, it’s been suggested in the Spanish media that Real Madrid are about to make a €40m bid for Konate in an attempt to bring forward the deal to January.

Real Madrid prepared to pay €40m for Konate

“Madrid are going all out for Ibrahima Konaté, Liverpool's central defender whose contract expires in June 2026,” a report reads in E-Noticies.

“Konaté is still out of contract and Madrid are planning to offer 40 million euros in the upcoming winter transfer window.

“Liverpool could accept, especially because they do not want to let the Frenchman escape for free.”
