At 26, he is entering what should be his prime years as a centre-back, and there is a growing sense at Anfield that allowing his deal to drift towards its final stretch would be an unnecessary and avoidable risk.With both Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah departing at the end of the season, letting yet another senior player leave who knows the club and the culture was not a sight most Reds fans wanted to see.But over the last number of weeks, there have been more and more positive signs that the Frenchman will commit his future to the Anfield club.Fabrizio Romano reported earlier this week that a new deal is advancing and is expected to reach a positive conclusion.Now RMC Sports’ Fabrice Hawkins has revealed the likely length of any new deal agreed between Konate and Liverpool – and adds that clarity could come shortly after the PSG tie this Tuesday evening:“Ibrahima Konate could soon be fixed on his future. Under contract until next June with Liverpool, the French defender should know more about his future after the Champions League quarter-final second leg against PSG.”“In the event of an extension, Ibrahima Konate could extend his contract with Liverpool until 2030 or 2031.

For the time being, there are small elements that are missing for the file to be completed, especially in terms of bonuses. One thing is certain: his club wants to keep him.”“For his part, Ibrahima Konate wants to continue the adventure as long as everything is in place.”Konate has been a constant presence at the heart of Liverpool’s defence next to captain Virgil van Dijk this season, racking up 44 appearances in all competitions and finding the net twice.
