PSG and Al-Hilal circle for Konate

The player admitted that talks were at a standstill, insisting that no deal was close to being agreed last season either.

And now it’s been suggested that a couple of suitors are in the frame for Konate in the shape of Paris Saint-Germain and Al-Hilal of the Saudi Pro League.

That’s according to BBC Sport journalist Sami Mokbel, who claims talks remain ongoing with the club over a new deal.

“One name to keep an eye on is Ibrahima Konate,” he said.

“He is in talks over a new contract, but his existing deal expires at the end of next season.

“If an agreement can’t be reached it will be interesting to see if Liverpool consider offers for the France international to avoid losing him for nothing in 2026.

“Paris Saint-Germain and Al Hilal are the clubs I’ve heard who have an interest in Konate.

“What happens with Konate could impact how Liverpool approach the futures of fellow centre backs Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez, who have Premier League interest.”
