Liverpool and Ibrahima Konate are at a nervous crossroads.

The Frenchman, now 26, has entered the final year of his contract and is in all likelihood already being courted by Real Madrid.



His existing contract with Liverpool, signed in 2021, is reported to pay him around £70,000 per week.



The French defender is believed to be aiming for a significantly higher wage, seeking a new deal in the region of £200,000 per week.

Reports suggest that Konate has been disappointed by Liverpool’s initial contract offers, with his representatives pushing for a greater guaranteed base salary rather than a structure heavily reliant on performance-related incentives and bonuses.

While there have sometimes been concerns over his fitness record in past campaigns, the French centre-half showed remarkable durability and availability under Arne Slot last season – featuring in 92.5% of all available minutes for Liverpool in 2024/25.

Liverpool want Konate to make decision

And with Real Madrid circling, DaveOCKOP.com can exclusively reveal that Liverpool is trying to extend his deal before the summer transfer window closes?

The Reds want Konate to make his mind up before the transfer window closes.

The Anfield club wants certainty around his future, and does not want the situation to become a saga during the season as was the case with Mohamed Salah and Co

last term.

Liverpool’s hierarchy is all too aware of the dangers of letting a flagship player run down his contract like Trent Alexander-Arnold did.

Should Konate remain unconvinced by the proposals in the final weeks of the window, the Merseyside outfit could be willing to entertain offers in excess of £35 million rather than risk losing him for nothing next year.

The timing of the sticky contract situation comes at a difficult moment for Liverpool, who are still trying to get defensive cover through the door before the September 1st deadline.

Liverpool’s pursuit of Marc Guehi and Giovanni Leoni could be seen as contingency plans for the potential departure of Konate.

Should Konate not have agreed a deal before the end of the summer, the club will surely have to bite the bullet and sell the defender for as much as they can get this summer.
