Liverpool remain hopeful of Ibrahima Konaté signing new contract | OneFootball

According to a report from The Athletic, Liverpool remain hopeful of Ibrahima Konaté (26) signing a new contract with the club. The French international defender’s current deal at Anfield is set to expire at the end of the season, and there is no agreement between the two parties on a new contract. 

The Premier League champions are currently enduring a difficult season domestically, which has seen the form of several key players drop, including the Frenchman at times. However, in recent weeks, the 26-year-old has returned to form. He was key in the Reds’ ending Sunderland’s unbeaten run at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday night. 

Liverpool point towards Salah and Van Dijk regarding Konaté’s contract

The Merseyside outfit believes that the former RB Leipzig defender could follow the same pattern of his teammates in Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk by signing a new contract at the end of the season. Extending his contract at Anfield is not Konaté’s only option. Real Madrid are also interested in signing him on a free transfer.
