There was a definite ploy by City to make Liverpool play to Konate and let him have the ball. “Then they would press, because he’s liable to make a mistake, and that’s all you need to know about how he is viewed in that Liverpool team.

So from their perspective, there are players out there who they can bring in to upgrade on him, so I don’t think they’re worried about whether he might leave. “Whether it’s Real Madrid or Bayern Munich or any team in Europe, if he’s not signing a contract, they’ll be preparing for a future without him.

I think they’re prepared to let that happen, and then it’s just about who they can get in.” Liverpool fans running out of patience with Konate Konate has been one of Liverpool’s worst players this season, too often cutting an error-prone figure, as was the case against City over the weekend. It is encouraging that Liverpool believe they can bring in an upgrade on Konate if he does leave in 2026, though, with Guehi hopefully still at the top of their wishlist.
