Konate Contract Update Liverpool have reportedly presented a new contract offer to Ibrahima Konate as they look to secure the French defender’s long-term future at Anfield. Konate’s current contract runs until the summer of 2026, but the club is keen to avoid any uncertainty that could invite Europe’s biggest sides to make their move.

Madrid and Bayern waiting in the wings It’s no secret that Real Madrid are looking to strengthen their defense for the long term, and Konate’s profile fits perfectly into their strategy. The club’s leadership has reportedly learned from the Trent Alexander-Arnold saga earlier this year and now want to resolve Konate’s future well in advance.

Younger players like Jarell Quansah and Hugo Ekitike have reportedly credited Konate for helping them settle at the club, a sign that the Frenchman’s impact goes beyond his on-field performances. Liverpool’s decision-makers view him as part of the team’s future core, and his renewal is considered as vital as those of Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah last season.
