Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has been linked to the shift to Real Madrid in recent weeks.
The 26-year-old Central defender will sign a contract next summer and he has not signed with the Premier League yet. Liverpool are under pressure to sell him this summer, and their asking price is €50 million.
Can Real Madrid sign Konate?
It would be fun to see if Real Madrid would come forward and pay him. The Reds will not want to lose players in next year’s free transfer.
Meanwhile, a report from Defensa Central said Liverpool manager Arne Slot is now urging the club hierarchy to prevent the French from leaving the club this summer. Whether they can convince players to sign a new agreement with them remains to be seen.
Konate is also related to Barcelona.
Liverpool must keep the Ibrahim tribe
There is no doubt that Konate is one of the best defenders in the Premier League and keeping him at the club will be a huge driving force for Liverpool. They have approved the departure of Trent Alexander Arnold and Louis Diaz. Diogo Jota also died in the accident.
They lost tremendous quality and experience this summer, and despite their multiple young talents, this may not be enough to keep them in their titles. They will need more experience, and Konate is one of the names on the team table.
The French defender is their key player and Liverpool simply cannot lose him this summer. They also don’t want to lose him in next year’s free transfer. If the contract is extended, this will be ideal for all parties.
