Carl Recine/Getty Images Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate ‘has turned down a huge bid’ from a club in Saudi Arabia in favour of extending his contract at Anfield. This season, the 26-year-old centre-back has featured in 30 Premier League games for the Reds, but has seen some criticism of his performances as part of a side that have gone backwards under Arne Slot.

Konate’s future at Liverpool has remained uncertain this season, with the centre-back entering the final year of his contract and attracting interest from the Saudi Pro League. The 26-year-old does look to have had an option in Saudi Arabia which would hand him a huge pay rise from his Liverpool deal.
