Fabrizio Romano has once again confirmed that Liverpool contract negotiations with Ibrahima Konate are progressing towards a happy ending. Romano said on his YouTube channel: “After long negotiations, after many months spent in contact, what I can tell you today is that these negotiations between Liverpool management and Ibrahima Konate, the player and his camp, are moving to the final stages.

There are some clauses to clarify, but Konate and Liverpool are almost there in negotiations over new contract. Ornstein said on NBC Sports: “Ibrahima Konate will be out of contract this summer and my latest information is that his situation is at an impasse.” [?] @David_Ornstein on NBC yesterday: “Ibrahima Konate will be out of contract this summer and my latest information is his situation is at an impasse.” pic.twitter.com/Al4mabOcez — Anfield Sector (@AnfieldSector) April 11, 2026 So, what’s the truth of the matter?

TEAMtalk reported at the start of last week that “Konate’s camp has reached broad agreement on a new long-term contract at Anfield.” Hopefully, the truth of the matter will be made clear soon because fans have been subjected to constantly changing reports on Konate’s future for over a year and a half. At the very least, fans will learn about Konate’s fate in less than two months.
