Liverpool are expected to receive an offer for Ibrahima Konate as the summer transfer window closes in two weeks.

The Reds could offer him a new deal in the next few days and, if he rejects it, the club might be willing to sell him this summer.

Meanwhile, as per Fabrizio Romano, Arne Slot’s side have already signed Giovanni Leoni from Serie A side Parma for a €35m fee.



The 18-year-old defender is set to become the next signing of the summer for the Reds.

On top of that, Liverpool could still go for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi this summer, according to multiple reports.

Guehi reportedly wants to join Liverpool, and Crystal Palace might be open to selling him as his contract at the London club expires in 2026.

The French defender has undoubtedly been the backbone of the Reds’ defensive unit last season.

Konate and Van Dijk’s partnership was one of the reasons Liverpool won the Premier League.

However, with Liverpool busy in the transfer market this summer, Konate might be feeling neglected.

He reportedly rejected Liverpool’s new contract offer last month.

In his current deal, he earns around £70k per week at Anfield, while several teammates and new signings are earning significantly more.

Spanish media outlets Marca and Diario AS both report that the Merseyside club believe there has been contact between Ibrahima Konate and Real Madrid.

Reports suggest that the Spanish giants are prepared to bid, but they are unwilling to offer more than €25 million this summer.

Meanwhile, another club — Chelsea — have also joined the race to sign the French defender, according to Diario AS.
