Liverpool central defender Ibrahima Konaté is currently not considered a realistic transfer target for Bayern Munich, according to football journalist Christian Falk. Despite earlier speculation linking Konaté to the German club, recent reports clarify that a move to Bayern is unlikely at this time. The defender remains an important figure at Liverpool, who are engaged in transfer and contract negotiations amid the final year of his current deal.
The transfer scenario is complicated by comparisons to previous Liverpool contract dramas, notably that of Trent Alexander-Arnold's free transfer to Real Madrid, which Liverpool aim to avoid repeating. Konaté, unlike Alexander-Arnold, is reportedly not desperate to leave Liverpool and does not currently push for a transfer, suggesting Liverpool might still negotiate an attractive contract extension to keep him at the club. However, there’s an awareness that a potential transfer cannot be ruled out if negotiations stall further.
Overall, while Bayern Munich interest existed in the past, Liverpool's stance and Konaté's own position mean a transfer to Bayern is not imminent. The situation remains fluid as Liverpool work to secure their defensive options without risking losing Konaté on unfavorable terms
